The Burning Stone

The Burning Stone returns us to the war-torn kingdoms of Wendar and Varre at a crucial moment in this complex tale of war, love, and magic. Offered a haven from their enemies and the chance for Liath to study the ancient lore with those who claim her as their own, Liath and Sanglant - made outcasts by their love - flee from King Henry's camp only to discover that no place can truly be safe for them. Liath, born with a dangerous power beyond her understanding or ability to control, is torn between her longing for Sanglant and the child they are about to have and the call of sorcery, which can open the way into the land of the Aoi, the Lost Ones. And even as Liath struggles with magic's seductive spell, Sanglant's Aoi mother returns to the mortal world in search of the son she abandoned as a babe.
