A Coming-of-Age Story of Mystery and Survival

If the land remembers them, it may still call them home.

A story that unfolds across years rather than chapters. 

The Barrier advances without sound or reason, swallowing land and memory alike. Yet beneath the fear lies something older, something waiting to be recognized. Across a collapsing homeland, a new generation begins to feel a pull the elders never fully explained—a call toward truth, remembrance, and the possibility of return.

For generations, Marandia’s people have followed the shrinking frontier until there is nowhere left to stand and the time has come to flee. The great fleet waiting offshore will carry the nation into exile, yet something older than fear has begun to stir, as if the land they are being forced to abandon has not forgotten them at all.

Areal, Mattan, Tira, and Ginny grew up trusting the stories they were given, but the Barrier’s recent awakening has unsettled everything they thought they understood. Lost histories surface in fragments. Memories shift in ways no one can explain. Quiet doubts become impossible to ignore. Why did the Barrier begin expanding after centuries of stillness. Why has so much of Marandia’s past been erased. And why now, in the moment of collapse, do new possibilities begin to appear.

While the Council remains focused on the long prepared escape, a different movement has begun among those willing to question what was left unsaid. If there is any chance to reclaim the land, it will come from a generation no longer shaped by fear. The truth may not be lost after all, but time is running out, and what they learn next will change everything.

Marandia is an immersive story of mystery, survival, and quiet transformation. Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric fantasy, slow-building revelations, and the steady uncovering of forgotten truths. The first book in a five-part saga that begins in exile and leads toward renewal.

The Barrier advances without sound or reason, swallowing land and memory alike. Yet beneath the fear lies something older, something waiting to be recognized. Across a collapsing homeland, a new generation begins to feel a pull the elders never fully explained—a call toward truth, remembrance, and the possibility of return.

As the Barrier’s relentless advance threatens to reshape their world, Marandia’s people must come together—not just to survive, but to uncover the truths buried in their past. For generations, the land has been their identity, their foundation. But as the ruling council prepares for permanent exile, a growing movement believes that Marandia’s future is not on the sea—but in reclaiming the land itself.

Tira embarks on a daring journey aboard the scout ship Discovery, determined to validate a book of forgotten knowledge and challenge the assumptions of Marandia’s leaders. Meanwhile, Areal and Mattan prepare for a perilous one-way expedition beyond the Barrier, risking everything to answer the question no one has dared to face: is the land truly lost?

While the elders speak of unity, old alliances fracture and hidden conspiracies surface. Ginny, delving into ancient records, discovers a history deliberately erased—one that may hold the key to understanding Marandia’s fate. As tensions rise and whispers of a new era spread, a young girl appears, possessing knowledge that defies explanation.

Marandia’s people have long been guided by tradition and duty, but the younger generation is beginning to ask questions. What if exile is not the only path? What if the land is calling them home?

MARANDIA: CONVERGENCE is a sweeping tale of discovery, tradition, and the unbreakable connection between people and the land they refuse to abandon. Perfect for readers who love immersive worldbuilding, deep social dynamics, and the search for meaning in a changing world.

Convergence builds on the foundation of Emergence, transforming individual struggles into a collective resolve. As the nation comes together, the journey toward understanding, survival, and renewal has only just begun—leading directly into the next chapter in the saga, Discovery.

The Barrier advances without sound or reason, swallowing land and memory alike. Yet beneath the fear lies something older, something waiting to be recognized. Across a collapsing homeland, a new generation begins to feel a pull the elders never fully explained—a call toward truth, remembrance, and the possibility of return.

The Barrier does not explain itself. It advances. In its shadow, a single will moves to seize what fear will yield. Marandia prepares its last hope—an expedition into the Barrier—with a younger generation that steps forward, not to defy their elders, but to finish what the past could not.

Aboard the MS Discovery, Tira learns to read maps the way sailors read weather—ink, chant, and storm aligning into a language no one knew they spoke.

Lili follows the seams of stories others tried to hide and finds her own thread woven through them.

Areal and Mattan train for a one-way incursion the charts can’t quite hold, while Ginny descends into erased histories, stitching gaps into a map of intent.

Around them, an entire nation waits—farmers, ship captains, archivists, tide-watchers, children—turning rumor and mystery into routes.

This is not rebellion. It is inheritance.

Why did the Barrier wake after centuries of silence? Who chose which memories survived? And if the land still knows their names, what is it asking them to do?

Discovery is a tale of mystery and survival in which a people learn to think with their whole heart. The third book of the Marandia series gathers the mysteries of Emergence and Convergence and carries them to the threshold of return—the first true expedition into the Barrier.

Marandia is no longer alone. Having rescued the Havenites, a people wronged by hands acting in Marandia’s name and left for the Barrier to finish, the council begins to face the cost of what was done in that name.

As Haven recovers, Evani turns apology and transparency into trust, and trust becomes the first lesson of the route. Haven is older in spirit, quiet, deliberate, shaped by endurance, and may bring answers Marandia doesn’t know to ask.

Will their journey inside the Barrier yield why and how it was created, who chose how memories survived, and why they were left with so many mysteries?

Answers come with their own demands. They must find understanding enough to change everything, save for the one knowledge no lesson can provide—what to do with what they discover.

Expedition is the fourth book of the Marandia series, carrying the nation to its long-prepared crossing and setting them at the edge of what comes next.
