The Flowering Pact was supposed to protect the land. Instead, it buried the truth. When her father dies and her mother abdicates the throne, young Alemba inherits the crown of Meadowvale—a kingdom of wildflowers and whispers, rooted in an ancient Pact that once bound magic to the land. But something is wrong beneath the hills. Crops are withering. Shadows creep through the petals. And the Pact, long thought sacred, is beginning to rot. Guided by a cryptic map and joined by Calren, a shipman with secrets of his own, Alemba sets out beyond the borders of her crumbling kingdom. Their journey leads them through caverns of memory, groves of grief, and shrines built from forgotten names—all in search of the Oracle who can restore the Pact… or unravel it entirely. But the deeper Alemba digs into her bloodline, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Legends have lied. History has been rewritten. And her greatest threat may not lie in the wild lands beyond—but in the woman who once called herself Mother. A lush and lyrical fantasy about legacy, love, and the cost of truth, ALEMBA is the first in a breathtaking saga where light and shadow must learn to grow from the same root.
