Within days of their arrival, a deadly illness befalls several members of the Yawranan Royal Court. All parties present fall under suspicion, including the voyagers themselves.

Having no other choice, Oreus must gain the trust of the Yawranans as they embark on a quest to retrieve the protected snowtears through many inherent dangers, including a mythic race of warriors known as the Lazuls. |

Reviews and Accolades "This is a grand, sweeping journey, full of adventure and intrigue, plus
a rich array of characters. Once you enter Scot Stone's marvelous world,

personality and cadence in his or her speech, and though Stone creates
a very mythic and surreal place, you can still understand the characters'
plights." " This story is philosophical and mythic in its scope, but it's

put down." "(Mr. Stone's) characters are well developed, likable, and literally
bring you to cheers as they battle unspeakable creatures and face unspeakable

About the Author SCOT R. STONE'S mass communications degree lends itself beautifully to spreading the word about his intricately written fantasy epics. He developed his taste for fantasy by reading great literary influences such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen R. Donaldson, and J.K. Rowling. His sophisticated writing style reaches mass audiences on many levels: fantasy, mystery, romance, action and adventure and has already been compared by many readers as equal to the top fantasy novels on the market today. As the father of a young daughter, most of Mr. Stone’s writing takes place between 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.- a night owl writer. His favorite part of writing is the challenge of finding the gems that have never before been unearthed. Web Site: www.scotrstone.com |
