Root Beneath the Stone

In the mist-veiled Basque village of Itzalerri, the land remembers what the Church has tried to silence.

Amara Elizondo is the daughter of a healer, raised among stones that whisper, roots that hum with ancestral power, and wind that carries the names of the dead. When inquisitors arrive and accuse her mother of witchcraft, Amara's world fractures-but something ancient awakens beneath the mountain.

Lucas de Santibáñez, a scholar torn between duty and truth, begins to see cracks in everything he was taught to believe. And when his path crosses Amara's, neither of them is prepared for what rises between them-nor for the slow-burning reckoning that will demand everything.

The Root Beneath the Stone is a haunting historical fantasy about buried memory, forbidden love, and the power passed through blood, bone, and breath. Set against the backdrop of the 1500s Basque witch trials, it's a tale of endurance, legacy, and the quiet rebellion rooted deep in the earth.
