Evelyn was the greatest alpine pathfinder of the Sacred Mountain until an avalanche allowed the cunning Saintess Celeste to falsely accuse her of severing the lifeline. Blinded by devotion to the deceitful saintess, Evelyn’s fiancé Duke Adrian enforces a barbaric three-year penance, forcing Evelyn to crawl up frozen granite stairs on bleeding knees to earn medicine for her sick sibling.
As Adrian demands she bow her forehead into Celeste's boots on the summit, a royal courier delivers news that her brother passed away days ago in neglect. With her last reason for submission gone, Evelyn rips the penance parchment to shreds, unleashing mountain survival skills to expose the saintess's calculated fraud before the realm.
