Omschrijving

The Great Silence was not an end, but a beginning. Now, a generation later, the fragile peace of the last survivors is threatened by a quieter, more insidious extinction. The land, sick with the memory of a forgotten sin, is failing. A mysterious blight poisons the earth, a wasting sickness stalks the dens, and the song of their people has faded to a few, sorrowful embers.

Zuri, the inheritor of this broken history, is faced with an impossible choice: watch her clan wither and die, or lead a small, wounded party into a desolate and hostile world on a desperate quest for a myth. Haunted by the cryptic last words of a dying elder, she must seek out the other "scattered hearths"—the lost clans who survived the apocalypse—and try to weave a new song of healing from the threads of two broken histories.

But the world outside is no longer empty. A new empire is rising from the dust, forged by the brilliant and ruthless Khol, whose "Law of Fangs and Claws" offers a seductive and brutal clarity in a world of chaos. He sees Zuri's quest not as a mission of hope, but as a rival ideology, a narrative pathogen that must be eradicated.

Zuri's journey will lead her to a hidden sanctuary behind a thundering waterfall, where she finds a people as traumatized and mistrustful as her own. To save her world, she must first forge an alliance between two halves of a broken heart, a union that will be tested by the ghosts of the past, the brutal pragmatism of survival, and the terrible sacrifices that leadership demands.

The Scattered Hearth is a profound and thrilling epic about the difficult, necessary work of rebuilding a community. It is a story of how a society's health is woven from the strength of its connections, the courage of its leaders, and the stories it chooses to tell. To rekindle the embers of their world, they must first find the strength to sing together in the dark, a defiant harmony against the roar of a coming storm.
