A Science Fiction Series

The Drowned
Concordat

Behind the walls of a sealed-off Netherlands, the food is grown in vats and the truth is rationed like everything else. Elara Di Canti has never doubted the system — she's devoted her life to keeping it running, certain it's the righteous thing to do. What it costs the soul is a different question. The Drowned Concordat — by Hamish C. Rannoch.

The Series

The Drowned Concordat

A dystopian Netherlands, walled off and running on synthetic, corporate-grown food — and the quiet machinery of belief that keeps everyone inside it fed, docile, and sure they're safe. Covers and final titles below are placeholders; the Book One teaser is real.

Chapters 1–3 Drafted

The Rise of the Covenant

The walls have kept the Netherlands fed for generations — vat-grown, corporate-certified, untouchable by the world outside. Elara Di Canti has given her life to keeping that system running, sure to her core that it's the righteous thing to do. A body can be sustained on synthetic certainty. A soul is harder to feed.
