The Scattering Winds
(2023)(The second book in the Arc of the Oracles series)
A novel by Gordon Bonnet
Six centuries since a global revolution and a devastating series of plagues and famines shattered modern civilization, humanity now struggles for survival without the security or comforts of technology. In the small village of Klen, inhabited by descendants of a group who fled Seattle's destruction, even basic literacy and cultural knowledge have faded into obscurity, entrusted solely to the memory of the esteemed Guardian of the Word.
The arrival of a foundling—an abandoned child named Lanya, escaped from a distant city the people of Klen didn’t even know existed—threatens to upend their existence. Unknowingly, she brings dangerous ideas to Klen, including a realization that a broader world exists beyond their isolated enclave, where remnants of the lost knowledge from the Before Time are preserved.
Determined to resurrect the fallen civilization's wisdom, the passionate and headstrong apprentice to the Guardian, Kallian Dorn, sets out to Lanya's city. But his reckless actions could ultimately shatter the very foundations of belief held sacred by the people of Klen. As boundaries blur and old truths crumble, an exhilarating battle for truth and survival unfolds, forever altering the destiny of their shattered world.
Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman!
