Isolated prodigy trades mountain solitude for a brutal kitchen gauntlet.
Fiona Smith knows only the thin air and silence of the peak where her grandfather honed her palate into a weapon for survival. That sanctuary has curdled into a cage. A sudden twist drops her into River Dine, the domain of ruthless restaurateur Ethan Parker. She arrives bearing recipes forged in solitude and a desperation no line cook should reveal. The brigade demands speed she has never practiced and a hierarchy she has never navigated. Proving her inherited genius can withstand professional fire becomes her only path to a life beyond the mountain.
