Some roots were never meant to be disturbed.
For centuries, a small village hidden deep in the Balkan countryside has thrived in silence, untouched by modern civilization. Its people lived in harmony with the land - until the day an ancient artifact was unearthed beneath their soil.
Eva Djorovic, an archaeologist seeking answers, never expected to find herself entangled in a web of superstition, secrecy, and forgotten history. As she digs deeper, both literally and figuratively, Eva discovers that beneath this fertile ground lies something far older and far more dangerous than she could have imagined.
The soil begins to rot. The rivers dry. The roots beneath the earth twist unnaturally. The villagers pray to forgotten spirits. And Eva learns that some myths, no matter how ancient, are buried for a reason.
Withering Ground is a slow-burning horror infused with folklore, archaeology, and psychological dread - a standalone novel from Orlin Azarine, author of The Root and Heretic: Tara.
If you love stories about lost villages, forbidden excavations, and ancient forces that refuse to sleep, this novel will stay with you long after the last page.
