the sundered land: part one of four

Before Rome. Before the Celts. Before memory itself.

In the time when the Sahara bloomed green and the gods still walked the earth, a great deluge reshaped the world. From the drowned lands of Saelhara, Queen Mira led her people north to the mist-laden isle of Tharion, the land that would become Britain, and founded the realm of Atlantis.

But paradise cannot last.

Seven centuries later, Kael, a young Stoneforged of star-born blood, is summoned to the Great Henge. His task: to harmonize the ancient ley lines and preserve the balance of the Wyrd. Instead, his song shatters time itself, cleaving the world into Seen and Unseen, mortal and immortal.

The Sundered Land is the first cycle of The Hollow Vale, a mythic reimagining of Pre-Roman Britain steeped in Bronze Age mysticism, forgotten languages, and the weight of prophecy. Translated from fictional Tharionese runes, these tales blur the line between history and legend, inviting readers into a world where wetness births creation, spirals govern fate, and even gods must learn humility.

For readers who loved Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea, Madeline Miller's Circe, and the mythic resonance of Tolkien's Silmarillion.

Part One of Four. The rupture has begun. The mending will take lifetimes.
