Children of the Root: An Origin Story from The Blood Reckoning Saga

Before the world spoke, the earth remembered.

In a fragmented world where ancient magic stirs and unseen forces begin to awaken, one young girl holds the key to the land's deepest secrets. Dive into Children of the Root, an essential origin story from The Blood Reckoning Saga, and uncover the profound beginnings of Zara Wynn.

Growing up on a quiet farm in rural Hyderabad, Zara has always been different. She hears the silent whispers of the soil, feels the subtle hum of roots beneath her bare feet, and senses the unspoken emotions of every leaf and growing stalk. What others dismiss as childhood imagination or superstition, Zara knows is the very breath of the earth-a connection far deeper than anyone suspects.

But as a mysterious "sickness" begins to consume the land, leaving unnatural patterns of decay and an eerie silence in its wake, Zara's quiet world is shattered. Her parents, burdened by a hidden ancestral duty, vanish with a cryptic note and a map drawn not with roads, but with roots.

Driven by a desperate plea from the very heart of the land, Zara embarks on a perilous journey to her family's hidden vault. There, amidst ancient memory-stones and forgotten journals, she will discover her true heritage as a Leywarden and unlock the power of Rootshroud-a bio-magical grove that holds the key to nature's memory and the world's potential for rebirth.

Children of the Root is a mesmerizing tale of deep ecology, inherited purpose, and the silent sentience of nature. Witness the awakening of a hero, as Zara learns to heal not just the earth, but its very memory, forever changing the course of the Blood Reckoning.
