THE MOUNTAIN RIDE is a fantasy novel with a time loops at it's core. The book is suitable for YA audiences but doesn't dumb down anything or shirk from tangling with important themes. The story wrestles with morality and choice in a situation where war is balanced against a genocide. The tone is still reasonably light, even if the characters are morally grey and the stakes high.
Excerpt:
**Us or them?**
Seventeen-year-old Folke wants to be a hero. It didn’t have to be today, and he could have started with something less than preventing a war, but what can you do?
The armies of Kerthar will cross the border at nightfall, and the wizards insist only Folke can stop them. His mission would be impossible if not for the Mountain Ride—an artifact that lets Folke relive the same events over and over, figure out the answer to every puzzle.
But with each loop, the truth becomes clearer: the solution to saving Velonea might be even worse than the war he’s supposed to stop.
THE MOUNTAIN RIDE is the first book of the Unfought Wars series.
