Heart of Stone
By Sam Ledel
Maeve’s quiet life of isolation has kept her from the outside world—as a gorgon, she has to protect herself and others.
Princess Keeva Glantor is proud to be a member of Uterni’s royal family. But her mother’s health is failing quickly, and Keeva’s life of ease is turned upside down.
On a hunt for the key to keeping Uterni’s queen on the throne, Keeva meets Maeve. The princess is intrigued by the lone woman in the fen, but she has her own mission to complete and no time for anything, or anyone.
Maeve yearns to believe she has a chance at a regular life and is curious enough to push the boundaries of what she’s always known, revealing a deception that has kept her a pariah in a world she fears as much as it fears her.
Both must unravel lies and come face-to-face with the truth to create a future they can call their own, perhaps even one that includes each other.
