"Life was not a fairytale of good versus evil. We were all imperfect creatures clinging to the threads of survival. And the fear that had followed me through these mountains like a whisper against my neck was now replaced with a sudden and quiet resolve. A strength that flickered and grew inside me, encompassing us both. I wasn't running anymore. I was forging a new path for my daughter."
It is the year 2150, and life is no longer about personal autonomy. People have lost the ability to dream, and nature is a force that is feared and contained.
Confined within a stifling marriage and the slow stripping away of her identity, Seren had sought purpose in the illegal herbal medicine practice she ran under the guise of her medical clinic. But when her secret is exposed, she is forced to flee deep into the mountains with her child and leave everything she knows behind.
Will she find solace with Domine, the only man who has ever made her feel free?
A story of the unfolding into nature, the wilderness inside us, and the magic hidden beneath. Hiraeth is a bold journey of longing and survival, the unbroken perseverance of love, and the resilient heartbeat of the human spirit.
