Marandia

BOOK 1 OF THE MARANDIA SERIESA Coming-of-Age Story of Mystery and Survival

If the land remembers them, it may still call them home.

The Barrier advances without sound or reason, swallowing land and memory alike. Yet beneath the fear lies something older, something waiting to be recognized. Across a collapsing homeland, a new generation begins to feel a pull the elders never fully explained—a call toward truth, remembrance, and the possibility of return.

For generations, Marandia’s people have followed the shrinking frontier until there is nowhere left to stand and the time has come to flee. The great fleet waiting offshore will carry the nation into exile, yet something older than fear has begun to stir, as if the land they are being forced to abandon has not forgotten them at all.

Areal, Mattan, Tira, and Ginny grew up trusting the stories they were given, but the Barrier’s recent awakening has unsettled everything they thought they understood. Lost histories surface in fragments. Memories shift in ways no one can explain. Quiet doubts become impossible to ignore. Why did the Barrier begin expanding after centuries of stillness. Why has so much of Marandia’s past been erased. And why now, in the moment of collapse, do new possibilities begin to appear.

While the Council remains focused on the long prepared escape, a different movement has begun among those willing to question what was left unsaid. If there is any chance to reclaim the land, it will come from a generation no longer shaped by fear. The truth may not be lost after all, but time is running out, and what they learn next will change everything.

Marandia is an immersive story of mystery, survival, and quiet transformation. Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric fantasy, slow building revelations, and the steady uncovering of forgotten truths. The first audiobook in a five-part saga that begins in exile and leads toward renewal.
