The Garden of the Stone

Synopsis

From the back cover of the Avon Eos first edition: "At the heart of the fortress lay the Garden . At the heart of the Garden lay the Stone - a living entity of power beyond understanding. Then came Bron, his arrival long foretold as the one who would restore the balance to a world torn asunder centuries ago. But Bron had other plans. He stole the Stone... and vanished. Now Bron's daughter Cariad, a skilled empath and assassin, must follow the footsteps of a father she's never known into the depths of the Fortress. Waiting there is Jolyon, her father's greatest enemy, a man whose thirst for domination is matched only by his taste for blood. Cariad must learn the secret of Jolyon's strength before it is too late. For as Bron's arrival was prophesied, so too is his return."
