Rauniara

(fantasy duology)

Twilight's Daughter, Darksome Maid

(The first part of the Rauniara duology)

A magical, down-to-earth duology about two young women living in a world conscribed by night and eternal autumn. The reader will be swept away by romance and enthralling personal destinies.

Hungry for knowledge but born into poverty, Malka has gone off in search of a better life and now lives on the forest smallholding of the Tietäjä of Hellantia with her fellow students. One day, she finds a young child abandoned beside a forest path. As darkness falls and the night beasts emerge, she takes the child to safety. Malka doesn’t know that her actions will open the door to a world of secrets that hasn’t been spoken about in the duchy of Rauniara since time immemorial.

At the same time, in the duchy’s capital, the young quicksmith Arona Pohtovius has made a different kind of earthshaking discovery. Born into a family of famous smiths, Arona, a little person, has worked hard all her life to live up to her mother’s standards. But now a single, impulsive act threatens to ruin everything.

Centuries-old secrets and seemingly preordained destinies begin to burst into the open when Malka and Arona start asking questions that others have never dared to. Much has been lost in the duchy of Rauniara: its memory, its history and three of its seasons. All that remains is autumn, the night, and the fear that keeps people cowering in their homes once darkness falls. Now Rauniara is in danger of losing its future too.

Can Malka and Arona finally bring a brighter era?
