A murder …
It was unheard of in the great library of the scholars, though deeds more illicit had been discovered in their time. Intellectual quibbles of philosophy, reason, and petty disagreements more likely to cause scandal rather than death, even unexpected.
Claudus, son of the great teacher Rafe, is stricken when his father’s body is found between the shelves of the great library. In between the caverns of the deep, where the cliff dwellers reside in a subterranean network of passages and choked air, there is a killer with ulterior motives of far greater design than just one dead man…
As Claudus strives to adjust to the sudden death and take on his father’s duties to the royal family, his desire for vengeance leads him on a dark path from the man he was to a stranger he no longer recognizes.
Published bi-monthly, Heart of Stone is a sprawling narrative that focuses on how the darkest parts of ourselves, wounded and broken, drive us to terrible ends.
