Keeper of the Red Stone

As a result of what happened in the past: Valcor the grandson of the founder of the new land is forced to enter a deadly bargain with Ostrom: a fearless leader from the Skyland, and his archenemy. For years, a marauding tribe pillaged every village looking for a precious red stone: the stone that holds part of the essence of all that is good. The stone links a kidnapped, half-bred naiad and a guardian, which holds peace to all three lands. Valcor has to use his sister as a bargaining chip in order to retrieve the red stone. Then he must go into a dangerous dark river of no return. He also has to tread carefully with an iron-maker's daughter who had been in love with him. He feels his anger kindling.
