Ridge of Betrayal

By Tessy Braun

Two couples. One summit. Four up, three down...

It's Halloween and two independent couples head to the Lake District for the ultimate mountain ridge walk. Adrenaline-charged and trauma-laden, they prepare to scale Blencathra's infamous Sharp Edge.

Monika and Tabatha are unacquainted, yet both women harbour the same fiery ambition to conquer the summit in the company of their partners, Ralph and Sebastian.

A thick clag descends leaving deviant obsessions to resurface and, despite dizzying heights, the terrifying glory of Lakeland will not dissuade the duos. Echoes from a cruel and violating past torment, tolerances are tested and outrageous secrets are revealed.

Betrayal looms from every crag and cairn but one thing is certain, the fells don't forgive.

Ridge of Betrayal is an unsettling, intense, psychological thriller. The story contains mature, sensitive and potentially deeply distressing themes including murder, abuse, sexual assault, graphic violence, self harm and suicide.
