Children of the Blackened Root
Book One Of The Root And Hunger Chro
Eldermere is a city built on inheritance.
Not wealth or land, but sins carefully buried beneath brick and river silt. For generations, eight old families have maintained the fragile balance that keeps the city standing. They see what others cannot. Burn what should not exist. Judge guilt that refuses to stay silent. Guard seals older than the streets themselves.
They call it stewardship.
The monsters call it hunger.
When the wards protecting Eldermere begin to fracture, the heirs of these families are forced into roles they were never meant to inherit so soon. A boy who sees sin before it is committed. A girl raised among forbidden names. Enforcers whose flames cannot burn guilt away. Archivists who know that some truths rot the moment they are spoken.
As ancient customs demand blood, obedience, and silence, the heirs begin to realize a terrible truth. The monsters plaguing Eldermere are not invaders. They are consequences. Each one is born from a compromise the city refused to reckon with.
And something older than all of them is watching.
Children of the Blackened Root is a dark urban fantasy about inherited violence, moral decay, and the cost of maintaining a city that survives by refusing accountability. Where love becomes dangerous, tradition becomes predatory, and the line between protector and monster grows dangerously thin.
The roots are already awake.
