Haingard: The linden tree Zaindaria

By Tom Schilde

In the world of Haingard, memories live on in the roots of an ancient tree - and magic lives in everything that breathes.

When the "Festival of Ancestors" is canceled for the first time in living memory, no one suspects that this is only the first sign of a deeper evil.

Aphids disappear without a trace, insects fail to appear, and a young Melodei goes missing.

Driven by concern and hope, Naira sets out on a forbidden journey together with the learned scholar Drymandin, Tyrin Iwha, and the Bujaren Hargin. Their path leads them away from the protective Zaindaria lime tree - into the Cloudbreak Mountains, behind a gate that has been closed for eons.

Beyond this threshold, there is darkness that knows no light.

Magic behaves differently.

Memories fade.

And something ancient waits to awaken once more.

As the Treun venture deeper into the mountain, they realize that it is not just the fate of a missing person at stake-but the future of Haingard itself. For whoever touches the roots of the world changes everything that grows above it.

An epic fantasy adventure about connection, sacrifice, and the courage to face the darkness-even when there is no turning back.
