The Druid Stones

A grieving half-dryad. A dead god's power. A priest who wants the world to rot.

The witch is dead. The Well of Darkness lies empty. Aliah Starbough should be at peace. Instead, she walks a dying grove every morning, certain that something is still wrong.

She is right. The corruption did not vanish when the witch fell. It only changed hands, and it corrupts the Simmaron a little more each day. To stop it, Aliah must bring the darkness home to the Cavern of the Well.

She will not go unopposed. A priest five centuries dead will stop at nothing to realize his dream of a ruined and desiccated world, making promises to desperate men in exchange for desperate deeds.

Perfect for readers who love sword and sorcery with ancient magic, hard-won victories, and dark gods best left forgotten.
