That Which Was Undone May Be Reborn
The capital erupted in flames. People Keira loved didn't survive. And now she's haunted by a voice that shouldn't exist—grounding her when she has no grounder, whispering truths she's not ready to hear.
Her pneumonancy is fracturing. The Legion's High Council questions her methods. And somewhere in the Southern Shield, a young girl with impossible magic holds secrets that could unravel everything.
The question isn't whether the dead can return. It's whether they should.
Two Timelines. One Impossible Mission. Secrets That Span Centuries.
In the present (242 M.E.): Keira runs missions in the Southern Shield, hunting marauders and protecting villages. But she's broken. She can't use her pneumonancy without a grounder she no longer has—except the voice is still there, impossibly present. The Legion's High Council debates whether her healing abilities are heresy. And a mysterious scholar named Albert offers something forbidden: a way to undo what was lost.
In the past (876 C.E.): Danny O'Leary serves as a Legionnaire advisor during the Bellatori conquest of Loren. He witnesses occupation. Watches villages burn. Questions everything he thought duty meant. And discovers he's working alongside Keira's mother—years before Keira was even born. The choices he makes will ripple forward through time in ways he can't imagine.
As both timelines converge toward a single explosive moment, Keira must confront an impossible truth: some losses can't be undone without unraveling everything that came after.
Everything You Thought You Knew Is About to Change
The Story
Something broke in Keira after the capital. She runs missions now—hunting marauders, protecting Southern Shield villages—because it's easier than feeling. Easier than admitting she hears a voice that shouldn't exist. Easier than confronting the fact that her pneumonancy is fracturing in ways the Legion has never seen.
But the voice won't stay silent. And a scholar with too much knowledge tells her there's a way to undo what was lost. A ritual. A conduit in the capital. A moment when the barrier between life and death is at its thinnest.
It's forbidden. Dangerous. Possibly heretical. Keira doesn't care.
As she travels toward the capital, she meets Raina—an island girl with impossible magic and questions that cut too close. The child follows Keira like a shadow, and through her, Keira begins to understand that everything the Legion taught her might be carefully constructed lies.
Meanwhile, in another timeline, Danny wrestles with impossible choices. Serving an empire during occupation, he watches villages burn for rebellion, and makes decisions that will echo forward through centuries. Not to mention he's working alongside Keira's mother . . . before Keira was even born.
Both timelines converge at the equinox celebration. The capital fills with delegates and tension and the promise of something impossible. But when violence erupts and a child vanishes, Keira must choose: the resurrection she's been promised, or the living person who needs her now.
Some losses can't be undone. Some prices are too high. And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is choose to keep living.
What Makes Haven Enduring Different
Dual Timeline Storytelling
Watch Keira in the present and Danny in the past, their stories weaving together until you realize they've been connected all along. Every choice in one timeline echoes forward. Every revelation changes how you see the other.
A Voice From Nowhere
Keira hears someone who shouldn't be there. They ground her when she has no grounder. They whisper truths she's not ready to hear. This is fantasy that treats grief and trauma with gravity—PTSD isn't background, it's the story.
The Moral Cost of Empire
The past timeline shows occupation from the inside: villages burned for "harboring rebels," resources extracted, families torn apart. This isn't abstract politics—it's the human cost of power, told through the eyes of someone who must decide what duty really means.
Magic That Questions Itself
Raina bends light without training. Keira heals in ways the Council calls heresy. A scholar knows methods the Legion denies exist. The rules are breaking—or were always incomplete. What else have they been lying about?
A Child Who Sees Too Much
Raina is fierce, damaged, brilliant. She followed Keira looking for answers about her magic. She becomes the emotional core—a mirror for Keira's own brokenness and ultimately the reason Keira chooses healing over haunting.
The Grief You Can't Outrun
Keira lost people. She knows this. But she hears voices, feels presences, clings to an impossible hope. This is a book about grief, denial, and the moment you finally choose to live instead of haunt your own life.
Perfect For Readers Who Love:
What Readers Are Saying
H.B. Reneau is a physician and military veteran who brings authentic medical knowledge and firsthand understanding of PTSD to her fantasy writing. Haven Enduring draws on her experience treating trauma patients and her own journey processing grief and loss.
The Legion of Pneumos series refuses to treat mental health as background decoration. Keira's PTSD isn't something she "overcomes" in a montage—it's something she learns to live with, work around, and eventually accept as part of who she is. This is fantasy for readers who want emotional honesty alongside epic worldbuilding.
Where This Fits in the Series
Haven Enduring picks up after the devastating events of Chaos Looming. While you can start here, the emotional impact is strongest if you've witnessed the trauma firsthand in Book 1.
