Set after a devastating loss and the discovery of a dark conspiracy, Klarke Ascher is determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. Her mission: to find the prince’s missing twin and the elusive Ramanata, who hold the key to exposing the king’s deceit and forcing his abdication. To advance her cause, Klarke cleverly convinces the king to allow the Ascenditures to join Ainar’s team for a peace climb aimed at healing the rift between their lands. As she embarks on this journey, Klarke discovers a kingdom that values diversity and equality—ideals she yearns to bring back to Ectair. But first, she must brave the perilous slopes of Mount Opasno while searching for one of the many women her mother helped smuggle to safety from their oppressive king. In a world where lies are as fierce as the mountain winds and danger lurks around every craggy outcrop, Klarke must navigate a tangled web of enemies and political intrigue. As alliances shift and hidden agendas emerge, she realizes that not all allies can be trusted and not all adversaries are as they seem.

Praise for Finding Ramanata

"Robyn Dabney does it again! Finding Ramanata, the second book in Dabney's Daughter of Summit and Sea feminist fantasy series, is an intense, emotional, brilliant novel. We follow Klarke Ascher as she continues her quest, scaling mountains as she works to free her country from a cruel dictatorship hell-bent on destroying her. Finding Ramanata has everything I loved in The Ascenditure – unnerving political intrigue, thrilling action, rich characters and world building, and lyrical prose. Readers will find enormous inspiration in Klarke’s determination and passionate resolve to uncover the truth despite the personal cost, anguish, and peril. I can’t wait for the final installment of this series, because of this I have no doubt:  Klarke will not fall. She will not fail. She will not betray the truth. A must read."

—Adriana Allegri, author of The Sunflower House

“In this dazzling, whirlwind of a YA fantasy novel, the second in a series, Robyn Dabney once again immerses us in the troubled kingdom of elite alpinist Klarke Ascher, a young woman bent on not only scaling the most treacherous mountains but on freeing her country from ruthless dictatorship through quests that could destroy her life.”

—Janet Goldberg, author of The Proprietor’s Song and fiction editor of Deep Wild: Writing from the Backcountry

“The Daughter of the Summit and Sea series is an absolute delight to read! These novels feature characters with great depth and a plot that is exhilarating. I couldn’t put the first book down, and the second one is even more thrilling. Somehow these novels contain the most exciting and compelling details of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Hunger Games, and Into Thin Air. The protagonist, Klarke Ascher, is an amazing Young Adult character who fights the patriarchy and climbs mountains with the same fierce courage, dedication, and aplomb.”

—Zackary Vernon, author of Our Bodies Electric

“If you’ve read The Ascenditure, you’ll want—no, you’ll need—to read Finding Ramanata, Robyn Dabney’s second book with climber Klarke Ascher... The story builds like a snowball rolling down a very steep, glacier-covered mountain until the reader is speeding along toward revelations that make the wait for the third installment in the series seem agonizing. As always, Dabney’s deft touch with language and world building is evident throughout, but nowhere is it more apparent than when she describes climbing and mountaineering. You’ll be right there with Klarke until the final page. I couldn’t put it down.”

—Jill Murray, author of The Glimmering Sea
