Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Now, however, one has been found by the unlikeliest of wielders: Sampson Gaard, a blind but ambitious prince with something to prove.

Now, I've got unknown, extremely rich enemies on all sides, a mysterious woman with strange magic and compound eyes, and a guild to save.

Dark and Romantic Action Packed Epic Fantasy
After losing his wife and children, Nardus goes to another world to battle magical trials to try bring them back. He teams up with Alderan, a powerful mage on a mission to save his twin sister Aria. Together with their companions, Alderan and Nardus go on an adventure, each to fulfil their own missions.
Daniel has an absolutely incredible imagination. The worlds and characters he has created are unique and magnificent. I traveled to a new place while listening and could bot have had a more interesting journey.
The story has unique and brilliant characters that develop well throughout. The plot moves along at a good pace keeping the listener intrigued. The story is filled with magic, adventure, action and even a romance. I loved it!
Randy is a narrator worthy of an amazing story with vast characters. He has excellent intonation and energy in his performance. His passion shows making the story enjoyable and memorable.
I highly recommend this brilliant fantasy that is complex, deep and absolutely worth it. Cant wait to hear part 2 Reborn.

Very well written story
I have to admit to really being surprised by this book. It starts out pretty dark and depressing, however, the story morphs into a really compelling saga from multiple perspectives. Author really ties together an interesting story, about 1/3 of the way through I was completely hooked. Narration is perfect.

Pretty good start to a Dark Fantasy Series
The Dragon's Stone was a pretty solid fantasy story. It took me a couple chapters to really get into and sort of understand what was going on and get used to the narration but once I did I quite enjoyed it. This novel has 2 or 3 stories that they switch between. One involving Nardus and the other 1 or 2 following brother and sister Alderan and Aria. At the very beginning of the book Nardus's family is murdered in front of him and he couldn't do enough to stop it, he then spirals down into a drunken depression before a Mage approaches him and gives him an offer he can't refuse, travel to the underworld basically and retrieve a magical stone for him and he will bring Nardus' family back from the dead. Nardus has no option but to accept and once there he must prevail 7 trials to prevail, each trial is different but all are very dangerous. Nardus is able to 'travel' to an ancient library who's keeper gives him help and advice on how to overcome these trials. This keeper is one of the best characters in the novel and I find him very enjoyable.
The other story involves Alderan and Aria brother and sister. Alderan is off on his own in the forest at the beginning of the novel when he is chased hunted by some monsters who he barely escapes with the help of a magical drite who is able to wisk him away in the nick of time. Unfortunately back in his village it is attacked by these same monsters who kill his father an take his sister. Alderan goes on a journey to try to find and rescue his sister with the help of the Drite with which he develops a friendship/relationship that is kind of annoying to be honest because of how both of them are oblivious of the others feelings. Aria on the other hand suffers untold pain and indignities by her captors and it actually quite harsh and hard to stomach especially considering how young she is, barely 16.
There is a lot going on that the characters aren't aware of and they are much more important then they think as the world hinges on their actions. The paths of all the characters seem to be converging towards the end and am sure in future installments more will be made clear.
The narration by Randy Streu is pretty good and fits the characters fairly well, he does pronounce some words a bit weird such as brooch. Some of the characters and their actions I found to be a bit annoying or unbelievable, Alderan can be a bit of a pain.
Overall I would recommend the book as it has quite a bit of action and an intriguing story.

Great way to leave one hanging!
The end came upon me suddenly and in a good way too! As many books as I read that is sooo hard to do so BRAVO! Even with the narrators mispronunciation of magic repeatedly the book was capturing! All the mysterious you could hope for, the creepy wizard, the genuine guy who turns out to be special and the girl who is just awesome! And I really want to know what is happening!! So book 2 is a must read! I was given book 1 for free in exchange for my opinion and I will happily use a credit for the next book!

Dark chocolate goodness!
Dragon's Stone (formerly Dark Lament) is a dark fantasy in which we follow two seemingly disconnected plotlines. Nardus, the lone survivor of an ambush, strikes a demonic deal to retrieve a magical stone from an underworld dungeon in return for a promise to bring his family back to life. His trials in the formerly unconquered Temple of the Dead dungeon are complex and action-packed. Upon the surface, twins Alderan and Aria reach their sweet sixteenth, not knowing it is a magical trigger to an ancient prophecy. Of course, there are those aware of the prophecy having evil intent for the twins. Ultimately, the two paths cross with unexpected results.
