Stoneskin

Lost Tales from Esowon, Book 4

De: Kahriq Salil, Antoine Bandele

Narrado por: John Rogers

Long ago, before the end of the gods, cursed crystal fragments lay hidden about the world. These objects were imbued with immeasurable power, yet to use one plagued the bearer with a heinous blight.

Facing an empire's fleet of warships against his village's fishing boats, Jelani had no choice but to tap into the powerful and vicious Gods’ Glass.

The reward for his heroism was stoneskin, which slowly consumes the body with stiff welts of rock. To all who know it - brewmasters and scholars alike - it’s a death sentence.

Jelani knows it's only a matter of time before the stone devours him, and with it, his mind and sanity, leaving him nothing more than a raging beast.

But there is rumor of a cure, a potion that can keep the plague at bay, though it comes with a price heavier than gold...

Delve into this prequel novella to by sea and sky, a pirate fantasy inspired by East African and Arabian myth and folklore.
