Blood Within The Stone

Blood Within The Stone is the second book in the trilogy of books known collectively as Magesty.The coming of a powerful mage was foretold in an ancient allegory: the Tainekan Prophesy. Was Estieven, the lore of magic already imprinted into his DNA, the one who would come to reign in Magesty? Seduced unwittingly by his sister, the Dark Princess, to the addictive spells of sorcery woven into the sapphires of his ring, Estieven finds himself in the forefront of the battle against evil. Enrolled as the self-elected champion, Estieven realises he has also become the prime target. Across the Shallow Sea, the Off-worlders, with ambitions to colonise Estieven's world, seek to eradicate the arcane genome of its indigenous people - the only perceived threat to their high technology. While closer to home; a follicle of hair; a fingernail; a smear of blood is all the Dark Abbess requires to unlock the key to his ancestry and thus subjugate and control him with her own very special brand of magic - Blood Majjik.The trilogy concludes with Dark Matta,
