New novel "Hiraeth" by Juniper Ashe is released, a sci-fi fantasy that follows a group of friends trying to survive the deadliest night of their lives, all while dark family secrets start to unravel

“Hiraeth: The Spirit Within” by Juniper Ashe has been released worldwide. This 178-page novel combines elements of high fantasy and science fiction to create a unique, advanced world shrouded in mystery. Gilly and her friends prepare for the Final Binding that will, if they survive, elevate them from the dark world of The Middle to a land they’ve never seen but always dreamt about, The Upper. All the while, they begin to learn dark truths that have been kept hidden by those they trusted most. 

Set on a distant planet hidden away in the far corner of the universe, the story draws readers in with vivid worldbuilding and keeps them guessing as long-held secrets begin to unravel. With themes of spirituality, first love, coming-of-age, and social hierarchy, Ashe sets the stage for her forthcoming series with narrative depth and characters readers will love to fall in love with. This introduction to the world of Triune is fast-paced and action-packed, but also underpinned by relatability and the complexity of human relationships. 

Imaginative and full of surprises, the novel puts characters to the test physically, mentally, and spiritually, and forces them to come to grips with the fact that Triune’s society – and even their own parents – are not at all what they seem.

Hiraeth: The Spirit Within (ISBN: 9781958729854) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes and Noble and Amazon. The paperback retails for $14.99. Review copies and interviews are available upon request. Wholesale orders are available through Ingram. 

From the back cover:

In an underground world on a planet light years from Earth, the children of Triune have been learning how to survive their Final Binding. It’s an electrifying procedure that will push their bodies to reach their full potential or kill them while trying. Gilly is the only one of her friends who hasn’t bloomed into any of her Gifts. The Gifts that come with each binding made one stronger for the next, and soon the strongest most powerful binding would be thrusted upon them. 

Gilly and her friends have spent their entire lives in The Middle training and fighting to one day make it to The Upper. The Upper was a place they had heard so much about and dreamed of one day seeing with their own eyes. Now with the most powerful binding merely days away mysteries and lies start to unravel as the friends push on to find answers so they all can survive to make it to The Upper and find their Hiraeth.
