A hunger that devours the world. A dragon who dares to heal it. The Wendigos were once men, but now they are a global plague-skeletal shadows with hearts of ice and a limitless craving for flesh and forest alike. In their wake, the land falls silent, the trees are stripped of bark, and the earth itself forgets how to breathe. Anhara, the Moon Dragon, has seen this cycle of desolation repeat for eons. To stop it, she must forge an impossible alliance: a proud Thunderbird warrior who must trade his lightning for vulnerability, and the Dumangan-nature spirits whose true forms are fragile celestial lotuses but whose hands hold the power of growth. Their weapon is not the spear or the tomahawk, but a "Bitter Harvest." By sowing vast orchards of ancient walnuts, they intend to force the monsters to purge their corruption and face the memories of the humans they used to be. As the winter frost arrives early, Makwa and Ayasha-two humans caught in the shadow of a corrupt chief-must decide if they can trust a dragon's promise. In a world of mimicking voices and material greed, they will learn that the only way to kill a monster is to remember the man inside. A mythic tale of ecological horror, atonement, and the heavy price of peace. This story is finished, but the work is not done <3 - add pictures to remaining chapters: on pause - audio narration: in progress (chapters 1-9 are done, need to load them to YouTube and link them) - the next book: ruminating (I know where I want to go, and most of how to get there, just need life to chill aku)

When you close your eyes and picture the first person to ever paint the walls of a cave, do you picture a man or a woman? When you imagine the first tool humans developed, is it something deadly, like a spear tip, or something nondescript, like a bag to carry berries? When you think of human interactions with nature, is it one of conquest or cooperation? The Woman has no name and no voice, yet she discovers that she possesses a power never before seen by anyone in her small community. She simply wants to live her life, but when a powerful spirit threatens her tribe and her home, she cannot sit around waiting to be rescued. The Woman grapples with towering questions as she carves a place for herself in the world. What defines the relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world? Does power only manifest as brute strength? And what is she willing to do to protect those she loves?
