Enter Ellandria
A world that remembers what it has consumed.
Ellandria has been dying for a century. A fungal plague has hollowed its forests and twisted its creatures, while the last flickers of civilisation are crushed under Warden rule.
Maren survives by keeping her distance from people, from hope, from anything that might break. But when a desperate mother offers her an amulet identical to the one her brother wore the day she last saw him, Maren agrees to lead her and her infected child through the decayed wilderness toward a forgotten temple said to hold a cure.
"A triumph: bleak, corrupt, visceral."
Marie Adams, Goodreads reviewReader response
For readers who like their fantasy grim, vivid, and alive under the skin.
"A compelling read for anyone drawn to dark fantasy with emotional weight. Blackmoore paints the fungal-choked world with unsettling detail."
The Book Below Editorial Review"This is a grimdark fantasy that honestly blew me away with how descriptive someone can get describing mould and fungus."
