The Stone of Knowing (The Stone Cycle, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A talisman that unmasks thoughts, desires, deepest secrets. The fate of kingdoms depends on mastering its power and protecting it...

Thomas Stablehand's quiet life shatters when he stumbles upon an unusual stone that lays bare the thoughts of those around him. At first intoxicated by its power, he soon discovers that some truths are too confronting to know.

When invaders storm the kingdom of Arvenon, Thomas turns to his oldest friend, Will Prentis, a brilliant military commander. Will is fearless and magnetic, and where he leads men follow. But his meteoric rise has come with regrets that cannot be hidden from the stone. Can Thomas dare reveal its existence to his friend?

Desperate to protect both the kingdom and the stone, Thomas joins Will in a perilous quest against the invaders. But dangerous enemies hunt the stone for their own ends, and as Will faces an opponent whose true purpose remains shrouded, Thomas must decide what price he's willing to pay to protect the stone and preserve the kingdom.

Some secrets should never be permitted to be exposed.
