Advance Praise

"An addicting fall into the precarious times of the age of Kandelarr, where immortality is within reach if thirteen fabled stones of light can be reunited...High fantasy complete with enough magic, romance, weaponry, battles, plot twists, and complexity to appease even the most discerning LOTR fans, but singular in its depth of character and emotion, The Immortal Crown is a classic in the making."-Foreword Reviews

"Legend has it that there exist 13 stones, each touched by Oum'ilah, the God of Gods, and scattered throughout the land. Each stone is imbued with certain powers, and whoever unites all 13 will be granted immortality. Merrill establishes his large cast of characters and their motivations...An enjoyable read suitable for larger fantasy collections." –Booklist
