In the land of Calryss, the earth is alive-not just a source of life, but a living, breathing entity that thrives alongside its people. For centuries, the Eldertide Druids have safeguarded the sacred balance, ensuring that Calryss flourished. But when a crimson rift opens in the heart of the realm, spilling blood instead of water and staining the soil with corruption, the fragile harmony shatters.Sylvaen, a disgraced druid exiled for defying the ancient rites, is one of the first to witness the earth's wound. Haunted by visions of a dying world and whispers of an ancient betrayal, she is reluctantly drawn into the fight to heal the land. She is joined by Rorin, a blacksmith whose family farm has withered into dust; Kaelen, a wandering bard whose songs reveal truths he shouldn't know; and Isolde, a mercenary driven by her own thirst for vengeance.As the rift spreads, tainting everything it touches, Sylvaen and her companions uncover an ominous truth: the earth bleeds not from natural causes but from the return of an ancient enemy-the Shadow Forger, a dark being long thought vanquished. The Forger wields forbidden magic to reshape the world in his image, feeding off the lifeblood of the land and its people.To stop the Shadow Forger, Sylvaen must reconcile with the druids who cast her out and unlock a forbidden power buried deep within herself-one that might save Calryss or doom it entirely.The Earth That Bleeds is a sweeping fantasy of elemental magic, ancient secrets, and the unyielding will to protect a dying world. In a land where the earth cries out for salvation, even the smallest spark of hope can ignite a revolution.
