Adamant in Dust

Adamant in Dust

A broken gemstone. A fractured kingdom. An evil older than memory.

Long ago, when the first king of Pennith still walked the land, a rebel duke tore apart the Far Stone of power. What was once whole became divided, like the kingdom itself.

About the Book

The prophecy promised a way to repair the rift. It required love. Not the giddy kind that blooms like the ecstasy of spring and fades when the air changes. But something real, deep, and strong enough to bind the ancient breaches.

Whatever that is. Princess Peregrine can’t even fathom the giddy kind. She has done everything else to be the heir, but this was the deal-breaker.

Then a treacherous lord abducts her sister using a stolen shard of ancient power. An older and darker villain called Malchor moves his pieces across the board from his ice-bound throne in the north. The nobles are already sharpening their knives for the throne her ailing father may not hold much longer. And Pergi, overlooked and passed over, is the only one left standing between her world and the darkness that has always been coming.

She has failed the prophecy and cannot be its hero. But maybe that is exactly what makes her unstoppable.

Adamant in Dust launches the Far Stone Cycle with an immersive world, a magic system rooted in faith and connection rather than force, and a cast of characters as varied and beloved as any in the genre: a Wise Woman who climbs castle walls and carries unsharpened swords, Mountain Folk inventors with impossible contraptions, a personal steward who is always exactly what is needed and never quite what he appears, and two sisters discovering the strength of their differences.

For readers who love Tolkien’s depth, Terry Brooks’ breadth, Michael J. Sullivan’s heart, Will Wight’s snark, and the grand adventure of them all.
