Every crisis carries two paths. Which one will we choose?
The Seed is the second book of The Beating of War Drums trilogy - a parable of survival and collapse told through the story of the Desai family. In one future, they endure through trust, sharing, and resilience. In another, they fall into waste, isolation, and despair.
Through their story, this book reveals how small decisions ripple into destiny:
The survival path - gardens planted, fires defended, children taught, communities rebuilt.
The collapse path - resources squandered, trust broken, violence rising, futures lost.
Reflections for us - lessons drawn from both roads, showing how choice shapes survival.
At once intimate and universal, The Seed reminds us that war and crisis are not only endured - they are decided.
The future is a field. The seed is in our hands.
