The Rise of the Stone

Prequel to The Path of the Stone

Before the Time Tunnel opened. Before the Stone was lost. One choice changed everything.

Long before the events of The Path of the Stone, Azure lived quietly in ancient Macedonia — until the night destiny marked her best friend for death.

Driven by fear, loyalty, and forbidden magic, Azure makes a desperate decision that shatters the natural order and sets a catastrophic chain of events in motion. Her act draws the attention of powerful gods, dark witches, and Aeron — the future master of the Stone — binding her fate to a supernatural force created to judge good and evil.

Cast across centuries and battlefields, Azure is pulled into a brutal mythic world of harpies, curses, sea monsters, and pirate strongholds where history and legend collide.

As war spreads and alliances fracture, she must face the rising power behind the Stone, the cost of forbidden magic, and the terrifying transformation growing inside her.

Friendship turns to tragedy.

Mercy becomes weakness.

And love may not survive what she is becoming.

The Rise of the Stone is a sweeping historical fantasy prequel filled with mythological creatures, dark magic, ancient wars, pirate-era adventure, and emotional character transformation — perfect for readers who love portal fantasy, supernatural adventure, and morally complex heroines.
