Heart of the Earth

By: Clark, Robin Craig

An ancient landscape holds its breath. A hidden darkness threatens the pulse of the world. Can one human unite a fractured realm before the harmony is broken forever?

Deeply rooted in Celtic folklore, Heart of the Earth is an immersive ecological fantasy that transports readers to Nemeton-an idyllic English valley where ancient heritage intertwines with the deep rhythm of nature. In this lyrical tale, secretive forests, cloud-shrouded mountains, and wild creatures exist in a delicate, magical balance.

When Peter Goodhope returns to this countryside, he intends only to use his pen and ink to capture the beauty of the dawn-kissed woods and the owls gliding beneath the moon. But beneath the valley's serene veneer lies a chilling reality: a ruthless gang of poachers, known as the 'Stealers', has invaded the land, driven by an ancient, awakening malice tied to the dark myth of Balor.

As tension grips the forest, a profound prophecy is unveiled by the wise Dru Barn Owl. A human companion known as Fireun must emerge-an artist chosen by a talking fox and a little owl to decipher the magic of the ancient Ogham alphabet and stand against the coming slaughter. To heal Nemeton, Peter must learn to listen to the languages of the past and accept that all life is enlivened by the exact same seasonal rhythms.

Who is Fireun, and can an artist protect the magical heartbeat of the valley before it is silenced forever?

Perfect for fans of classic mythic fiction and contemporary ecofiction, this luminous, philosophical adventure invites us to explore the secrets of the wilderness and rediscover our own profound connection to the natural world.
