Before I show you the new cover, mark your calendars
“Troy: A Crown of Stones Origin Story" will be released on May 21st, 2024.
For me, this is an exciting date because we’ll finally get a more detailed history of the events before the original “Crown of Stones” trilogy. It’s a fantasy series I loved when I first read them, and still love it to this day.
So, when the author approached me to be part of her cover reveal team, I jumped at the chance.
Why you should pick up this book
These are comments I made back in 2016, when I read the original trilogy:
The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price
“This book is a masterpiece of storytelling, with a uniqueness that is so rare in the fantasy genre.”
“If you have not read this book, and enjoy a really solid, gritty read, pick it up now, because not doing so comes with the price of missing an amazing read.”
The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars
“… just leaves me wanting to read the next book as soon as possible. It rapidly became a page turner, and it was with regret that I put it aside each night to sleep.”
The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne
“Ian Troy is one of those rare characters that develops throughout the series, and always seems to have one more surprise for the reader.”
“The author has created a world that has a rich history, colorful but believable characters, and stories that demand to be read to their completion. If you are even thinking about picking up these books, buy the entire set. You'll thank me for it...“
And I still stand by those comments over 7 years later!!!
About “Troy: A Crown of Stones Origin Story”
Born of the Shinree, an enslaved fallen race, Ian Troy is magically bound to protect the kingdom of Rella. Since childhood, he trained to be their champion in a seemingly never-ending war. Called to the battlefield a brash young man of seventeen, Troy is anxious to show off his prowess with both magic and blade. He believes his role is vital to the realms of Mirra’kelan finally knowing peace.
Only, war is nothing like he thought.
After a year of being mistrusted and shunned simply for the blood in his veins—his magic restrained by an authoritarian queen—Troy has grudgingly learned his place. He follows orders and suffers their abuse in silence because the cost of insolence is a chain around his neck.
When Queen Aylagar handpicks him for a mission deep inside enemy territory, he thinks his time has come. Fate willing, he will prove to them all: Ian Troy is more than the “witch” they believe.
*Troy is a prequel to The Crown of Stones Trilogy. It takes place fifteen years before the first book, Magic-Price.
