The Orchard of Echoes

A world shaped by whispers of forgotten power. A city on the brink of unraveling. And a woman caught between the past, the present, and the echoes of a reality she may not be able to mend.
Tiziri Hammou has always been a scavenger, sifting through the Irdul ruins for lost relics, but when she stumbles upon a swirl-etched artifact tied to Tamenzut—the hidden weave of reality—her fate takes a dangerous turn. As Kharn teeters on the edge of chaos, black apples vanish from the orchards, and shadowy forces weave paranoia into power. The city’s elite brand Tiziri a traitor, but the truth is far more terrifying: a force older than the city itself is waking, and its vessel wears the face of a beloved leader.
With the city guard closing in and the orchard owners tightening their grip, Tiziri is forced into an uneasy alliance with Idir Omzil, a plutocrat’s son desperate to atone for his family’s sins, and Tassadit Ifri, a mystic who fears the consequences of bending Tamenzut too far. As tensions rise, Tiziri wrestles with a terrible choice—use the knowledge of the Edruel to reshape Kharn’s fate or risk losing everything to a power she cannot control.
But the echoes of the past are not so easily rewritten. The deeper Tiziri delves into Tamenzut’s mysteries, the more she realizes that some threads, once pulled, cannot be rewoven. The orchard meltdown is just the beginning.
A spellbinding tale of power, sacrifice, and the weight of choices, The Orchard of Echoes is a gripping fantasy where reality itself is the most dangerous weapon. Perfect for fans of intricate worldbuilding, morally complex heroes, and the haunting beauty of unraveling worlds.
