Shuttled off to attend the prestigious National Women's Institute, Arden will receive Nordania's highest honor, studying with other elite candidates to become leaders, diplomats, and ambassadors on the world stage.</p><p>Only, the institute's not quite what she expected. Paraded around in gown after gown, the tests seem less about educating and more about a different competition, with a very specific prize at stake--the Nordanian Prime Minister's son. Despite the dean's protestations that angling for an engagement leads to expulsion, Arden sees the truth. There's a secret bubbling beneath the institute's refined surface, and those who refuse to play along may well wind up dead.</p><p>With the danger escalating, and the return of her abuser on the horizon, Arden's shiny future becomes a gilded cage. And this time, she's going to need powerful allies to escape.</p><p>Political intrigue, swoon-worthy romance, and a dash of dystopian flare, <em>But for the Mountains</em> begs the question, how do you change the world when you're not allowed to try?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>"A truly exquisite coming-of-age novel . . . achingly gripping. A perfect balance of anxiety, hope, and complex relationships." </strong></p><p><strong>--Heather S. Ransom, author of the Going Green Trilogy</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>"In Arden Thatcher, we have a heroine for our times--smart, strong, complex, and determined to defy the odds. Her story is the story of every young woman who refuses to let societal strictures and patriarchal conventions define them."</strong></p><p><strong>--Deborah E. Kennedy, author of Tornado Weather</strong></p><br>
