Rin's stream has dried up and the
people of Rin decide to send a party up
the mountain to find out what is
wrong. First, they go to Sheba, the
wise woman, and this is where Rowan,
shy and afraid, gets into trouble.
Somehow, he is the only one who can
read the magic map Sheba gives them to
find the stream's source, which means
he has to go up the mountain, too!
With the map comes a warning: "Seven
hearts the journey make. Seven ways
the hearts will break." See how Rowan
and the
other six villagers face their fears on
the mountain and travel towards what is
believed to be the Dragon of the
Mountain's lair. Will they succeed?
Read Rowan of Rin to find out!
