The Light Heart of Stone
Publisher Description
In a world where nature's bounty flows through the hands of magical companions, the Stone Body's delicate balance is fracturing.
In The Light Heart of Stone, the power to nurture life is fading, and with it, the peace between two peoples hangs by a thread. Three unlikely heroes—Fox, a golden-eyed adoptee hiding her true heritage; Mica, a wanderer with forbidden knowledge; and Oria, an aging companion whose gift is failing—discover a dark conspiracy at the heart of their society. As provinces fall to famine and ancient tensions resurface, they must confront a terrible truth: their civilisation's abundance was built on buried crimes. With time running out and murderous forces at work, they face impossible choices between loyalty and justice in this eco-fantasy about power, identity, and the price of paradise.
Enter The Light Heart of Stone, where saving paradise means facing its shadows.
