Dragon's Circle: The Heartwood - Vol 1

Berethynnia Liadon was born the year the dragons fell silent - one of seven children, each cradled beneath a different dawn, each handed a broken realm to raise from the wreck of the old world.Hers is Albion: a green country of standing groves and druid-tended hollows, where the soil keeps its own long memory and the oldest roots still speak to anyone willing to kneel and listen. It is a gentler power than her siblings wield - slow, patient, grown from mercy and renewal rather than fire - and Berethynnia gives her whole life to it, tending a princedom, a marriage, and at last a daughter, Enna, who will one day inherit the Circle of Dragons and everything she has built.But a land that remembers everything remembers its wounds as well. As the years turn and the other six realms strain against old enemies and older debts, the grove begins to close quietly around its princess, and the country that forgets nothing asks of her the one price no ruler is ever ready to pay.Dragon's Circle is the first book of The Root Remembers, an epic fantasy saga spanning seven generations of a single bloodline. It begins where the saga's heart is planted - in green things and grief, in patience and sacrifice, and in a truth that will surface again in every book that follows: "Yet somehow, the root remembers."
