For Zenith, the valley is not just home—it is a refuge, a place where she and a community of resilient women have built a life of peace and quiet strength. But when an ambitious warlord sets his sights on its rumored natural wealth, the sanctuary’s peace is threatened, and its secrets risk falling into dangerous hands.
