Of the Dependence is a poetic, psychological thriller wrapped in a coming-of-age adventure. When Clara Brown embarks on a solo trek into the mountains to prove her independence, she doesn't just face rugged terrain; she confronts the emotional ghosts of her childhood, the weight of her father's fears, and the mountain's own dark mysteries.

Parallel narratives, ranging from fractured marriages to teenage escapades, intertwine within the ominous forest, where reality bends and disappearances are far too common. Through journal entries, myths, and shifting perspectives, the story builds a haunting picture of a place where ambition, guilt, and grief come to life.

This novel is a meditation on what we leave behind when we set off to find ourselves, and whether the truth, like the mountain mist, is meant to be touched at all.
