What readers will discover in The Lord of Stones
The World
An epic fantasy novel set in a beautiful, magical city in the heart of the Martellan scrublands. Expect tropical flora and fauna at the height of summer, tavern brawls and, of course, the long-awaited Golden Party—celebrating all the new apprentices joining Martella’s Guilds.
Guild Politics & Secrets
Martella’s guilds control the city and choose the city-state’s mayor every few years. But between spies and a secret guild of monsters, there is much that Martellans do not know about the powers controlling their fate, and the fate of magic itself.
The Story
Will, Lina and Connor have very different problems, but they do not yet know that their journeys will soon become intertwined, changing the fate of Martella forever. Along the way, they will face the fiercest battle of their lives: a fight for their own survival, for the lives of everyone in the city, and to confront their darkest memories.
