Jandar and the Winter Moons

About the Book

In a land where tradition and story intertwine, fourteen-year-old Jandar’s reckless mistake costs him everything—banished from his tribe until the first full moon of spring. Alone, with winter’s chill biting at his heels and limited resources, Jandar must summon his courage to survive the brutal season. Guided by an old hunting story and a mysterious desire to find help, he ventures into the unknown. But the journey leads him beyond the physical world—into Trumeloc, the spirit realm--where he encounters the tribe’s first chief, Tumae, and ancestral spirits who challenge him with a vital task: his success will determine not only his fate but the future of his people. As he battles the elements—and darker forces that wish him harm—Jandar discovers strength he never knew he had, forging a new Jander purpose amid the freezing darkness. A gripping tale of resilience, and the true meaning of bravery. Jandar and the Winter Moons will captivate readers eager for a story about growth, spirit, and the power of hope. Will Jandar survive the Winter’s test? The answer lies in the shadow of the moon—waiting to be uncovered.
