BOOK 1 OF THE MARANDIA SERIES

A Coming-of-Age Story of Mystery and Survival.

A Nation Forced to Flee. A Generation That Refuses to Surrender.

For over a thousand years, the Barrier has slowly consumed Marandia's land, pushing its people further south, forcing them to adapt, and leaving its leaders with an impossible choice: ensure the survival of their people at sea or face extinction. Now, the time has come to abandon their land forever. Fleet Marandia -- a sprawling armada led by the colossal floating island MS Milandia -- will be their final refuge.

For the older generations, this is not surrender -- it is duty. Bound by oaths, ethics, and desperate plans, Marandia's leaders have spent centuries preparing. To abandon their course would be to risk the genocide of their people. But the younger generation doesn't want exile.

They want their land back.

Areal, Mattan, Tira, and Ginny unknowingly stand at the heart of this growing divide. While their elders see migration as the only way forward, their generation believes the answer lies in the past. Why did the Barrier begin expanding after a millennium of stillness? Why has Marandia's history vanished from the records? And most importantly -- can the land be reclaimed?

The National Council, unable to alter their course, has secretly made a bold decision: hand over the reins. If there is any hope of breaking free from the Barrier's grip, it will come from the minds of those who refuse to accept the world as it is. But they must act fast -- because once the land disappears, there will be no turning back.

The truth slowly comes out. The land may not be lost. And if it can be taken back, who will decide what Marandia becomes next?

MARANDIA is a gripping saga of mystery, survival, difficult decisions, and generational differences, perfect for fans of epic fantasy and high-stakes intrigue. The first book in an unforgettable series, it will leave you looking hard at alternative possibilities, and the price of reclaiming what was lost.

Book two, Convergence, is available now. Book three, Discovery, arrives December, 2025.
