Khandaria Volume I
The saga begins. Strangers arrive on foreign soil, carrying secrets that will unravel everything the locals believe about their world. Where hope is as scarce as warmth in winter rain, gold promises salvation—or ruin. Talek and Leola must decide if wealth is worth the price it demands.
In Foreign Soil, Talek, a young Riverlander, returns to his bleak and decaying hometown, Leoris Port, after a fruitless search for work in the bustling capital of Ogsrudle. The journey home is harsh, marked by relentless rain and the growing despair of a future with few prospects. Upon arrival, Talek reunites with his sister, Leola, who has been holding their fragile life together in a society where survival is a struggle and the future uncertain. Set in a matriarchal society where power is fiercely contested and violence is common, the story delves into the brutal realities of the Riverlands, where raiding, slavery, and blood sacrifices to the Great Mother are the norms. Talek's return brings with it tales of an opportunity that could change their fates-a rumored exploration mission to a mysterious island in the northwest, where untold riches of gold might be found. But in a land where fortune is fleeting and trust is scarce, the path to such dreams is fraught with danger.
