The Stones of Magic
by A.W.Chrystalis
The beginning to the end. The last three hundred years has not been kind to the Mages of the Empire Seas region and in a world where having magic or magical items could get you executed on the spot, one group of individuals have set out to find and protect seven magical Stones that, in the hands of the enemy, could destroy everything.The Quest for the Stones of Magic will take one young boy and will either turn him into the man he was meant to be or destroy him completely. The loss of everything that he has, everything that he has ever known, has forced Mach Derune into making a decision that he would never have dreamed he would need to make. Does he search for the last member of his family in the hopes that she is still alive? Or, does he follow a group that may lead him to the one responsible for the destruction of his home? Either choice he makes will take him down the road of revenge, but the path he takes will show him far more about himself than he ever thought possible. The strength and courage of his newly found friends gives Mach an insight to himself that was never there before. Their willingness to allow him to forge his own path leads him down a road of discovery that will show him just how strong he is and how true the lessons of his late father were. The Stones of Magic have resurfaced after three hundred years and two forces will collide in order to obtain them. The Power they wield was enough that the Great Mages of Old refused to use them in order to prevent the genocide of their own race. Will Mach find himself a pawn of the Power of the Stones, or will he and the others find a way to control it.
