Stonesoul

Sequel to STONEHEART, available now for free!

Ever since she witnessed the murder of a White Witch at the hands of Darrow, the leader of the dark warlocks, Shyla Bellamy’s life has been a wreck. When Darrow’s plans to kill her were foiled by the gargoyles sworn to protect her, he disappeared without a trace. He’s still out there, biding his time, but Shyla’s got a handful of other things she has to worry about at the moment.

School is back in session, which means she now spends her days cooped up at New Craven High instead of at the cathedral that’s become her home away from home. Her best friend is back from vacation, and the guilt of keeping her new life such a secret is almost too much for her to bear. On top of that, the dueling magics inside of her are beginning to affect her in new, different ways, but nobody knows what to do or how to help her. An “innocent” like her has never been so involved in magic affairs like this.

Things are supposed to be easier now that Faye knows everything, but it’s just too strange and scary for her older sister. She’s pulled away from Shyla, who feels totally alone in her struggle, even with her budding relationship with Quinlan, the young warrior from the gargoyle reserve. Between keeping up with homework and other normal teenage things, Shyla is constantly looking over her shoulder for Darrow. Where did he go? What is he planning? And more importantly, when will he be back?

Sometimes, she wishes she’d taken a different way home that summer night.
