Heart of Hauden Book One in the Harmony of the Othar Saga
Heart of Hauden
Desperate and dying, with their society plunged into chaos at the hands of the Plague Bringers, Laedian Fayersae has led her people to Hauden on the winds of a misunderstood foretelling. Silent and fading, with their ancient fires extinguished at the hands of the Dasyu, whispers by the Ganien Mothers on Hauden keep the memory of a forgotten prophecy from going dark. Thus, the accidental convergence of foretelling and prophecy begins the Harmony of the Othar Saga.

The serenity of the pink ribbon of clouds lining the northern horizon only amplified the destruction in the valley below them. There wasn’t any need to drop a veil of shadow to cover their voices; only corpses would greet the sunrise.
“The red man and the white man have now become too few to aid us,” Graeblaoni said.
“Yes, Sister, but purging their bloodlust is necessary if they are to unify,” Violoni said.
“Enwaten’nonh’Waktaniheke have returned,” Geloni said. “There are no longer enough Shotak alive to drive those revenants from this land. The Waktani have come too soon, and they will cross the mountains this time; none can stop them.”
“The undead will oppose us more vigorously than the undying,” Violoni said. “The Khe’kenha Othar must find and light all the ancient fires. Without the strength of those eternal flames, our voices will forever be silenced from Hauden.”

Another longship slid out of the cold sea and crashed onto the sandy beach. Laedian jumped from the prow and bent to scoop a handful of sand before she raised her eyes to a veil of shadow at the forest’s edge.
“She is Khe’kenha Othar!” a female voice said.
“Yes, Sister, but like the others, she speaks with a discordant inner voice. They carry the power, but they are alone, forgetting fellowship and service.”
“Not all of them,” a third voice said. “At least one, a woman calling herself Avanian Triumon, now walks our land with consonance of thought. I will make myself known to her, and begin her indoctrination.”
“White joining red,” the second said aloud. “How long will it be before black returns to silence the Khe’kenha Othar again, extinguishing the ancient fires?”

Destruction, hatred, death; the Darkening has awakened whispers long silent on Hauden, yet the grasping tendrils of prejudice threaten to choke the quiet voices of harmony before they can take root. Laedian Fayersae’s long struggle to unify the Houses and the Nations has failed following the Shotak attack on Ofst and the Onayotek betrayal; and the Aktsi’a Othar fight to be heard amidst this cacophony of hatred as the heavy voice of discord soaks the soil with a drowning blood. Deafened by a killing bloodlust, new threats creep across the land unheard, and the annihilation of the Houses and the Nations is certain unless Laedian can discover how to speak for all the peoples of Hauden.
