The Holy Gatherers is a spellbinding fantasy novel set in the mystical world of Overa, a hidden land governed by ancient magic and fierce warrior women. Protected by sacred trees blessed by the Goddesses, Overa has thrived, untouched by the corruption that plagues the outside world. However, this fragile balance is threatened by the dark forces of Girar, ruled by the tyrannical King Sola, whose curse has plunged the land into decay and despair.

The story follows Tiya, a young woman raised in Overa, who unknowingly carries a powerful secret-she is the first of three sisters born from a sacred Goddess tree. Marked by destiny, Tiya struggles to control the light and darkness within her, a battle that could either save her world or doom it to destruction. Alongside her closest companions, Meme and Ivy, also tied to the prophecy, Tiya must navigate the dangerous and complex truths of her past.

As the trio uncovers their shared destiny, they are thrust into a battle that spans worlds, pitting them against the growing corruption in Girar and the ancient powers that bind them. With the once-protective magic of Overa unraveling, the Holy Gatherers-elite warriors tasked with saving newborn sisters from Girar-must now look inward, facing not only the external threat but also the darkness within themselves.

The Holy Gatherers is a tale of sisterhood, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between light and dark. It explores themes of destiny, the burden of legacy, and the ultimate power of unity. As Tiya, Meme, and Ivy come to understand their roles in the prophecy, they learn that to restore the world, they must first face their own shadows-and the shadows of the past. Will they fulfill the prophecy and restore balance, or will they fall to the darkness threatening to consume them all?

Epic battles, rich magic, and deep emotional bonds make this an unforgettable journey into a world where the line between salvation and ruin is as thin as the blade of a sword.

The Holy Gatherers

The air in Overa was heavy with a newfound sense of magic and dread. With Mother Elara gone, her final moments witnessed only by Mother Cora, High Priestess Rozia, Tiya, Meme, and Ivy, the balance had shifted. A raw, uncontrollable power had begun to manifest across the entire community. It was as though the ancient magic of their ancestors, the descendants of the Goddesses themselves, was waking up, unpredictable and dangerous. 


Tiya stood in the temple courtyard, looking out at the horizon, her thoughts a jumble of fear and responsibility. The weight of what had just happened—the power unleashed, the shifting dynamics of their fragile community—was pressing down on her. She turned and saw Mother Cora and Mother Rozia quietly talking, their faces drawn with concern. 


“This power,” Cora said, her voice low, “is more dangerous than we anticipated. Our people aren’t ready for this. Overa was meant to be a safe haven, but now it risks becoming a battlefield.”
