Stoneheart Oath

“The fog came every night and left every morning.

Which was how Elara knew it was not natural.”

stoneheart_chapter2 (1)

For three hundred years the city of Shadowspire has lived beneath an unbroken fog.

Everyone believes it is protection.

Everyone believes the monsters in the eastern towers are prisoners.

Everyone believes the High Keeper protects them from the darkness.

Elara Thorne has always known something about the fog is wrong.

She was raised in the High Keeper’s household.

Educated. Protected. Watched.

And carefully prepared.

When the ancient Stoneheart Ritual is announced, Elara is told it is an honour.

A rare magical ceremony that will protect the city forever.

But the truth hidden beneath the fog is far older — and far more dangerous.

The creatures imprisoned in the aerie are not the monsters Shadowspire believes them to be.

And the ritual meant to bind them… was never meant to save the city.

It was meant to harvest her power.

Now Elara must decide:

Trust the man who raised her.

Or trust the ancient magic in her blood that keeps reaching toward the creatures trapped in the towers.

Because the closer she gets to the truth, the clearer one thing becomes:

The fog was never protection.

It was a prison.

And the monsters inside it might be the only ones who can save her.
