Yet living in it are the  stonemasons whose life is flinty as the granite they hew, and their laws are merciless. At the  foot of Granite Mountain lies the verdant, luxuriant Lemon Drop Valley, the Silicon Valley a  hundred years from now. No one can descend there, for the only pathway to the valley is  kept secret by the Royal House of stonemasons.
