Harte Tower

By Phil Wortmann

The mountain doesn't care about grief. It only cares who survives.

Eighteen-year-old Ethan Hardy is sent to Alaska to spend the summer with his grandfather-a legendary mountain guide hardened by loss. What begins as an uneasy reunion turns deadly when they attempt a remote climb deep in the Brooks Range.

Avalanches roar without warning. Weather turns savage. One mistake can mean death.

When a catastrophic accident sweeps away his grandfather, Ethan is forced into a brutal fight for survival-alone, underprepared, and miles from help. With supplies dwindling and hope fading, he must face the wilderness, his grief, and the legacy he never wanted.

Survival will change him-if the mountain doesn't kill him first.

A gripping wilderness survival novel, this story blends pulse-pounding adventure with a powerful coming-of-age journey, exploring grief, resilience, and the enduring bond between generations. Perfect for readers who love immersive landscapes, high-stakes survival, and emotionally rich storytelling
