Description

A father murdered.

A killer in the guise of a friend. 

And the choice … that led him into darkness. 

An exile of the undercity of Brennus, Greth wanted only one thing: to be left alone to adventure. Yet when news reaches him of his father’s murder, he’s forced to return home. 

There, and beneath the white and flickering lights and cavernous walls of Brennus, he is offered one chance to regain his standing as a subject of Brennus’ king. The choice, on the surface, is simple enough: avenge his father … kill a prisoner. But Greth soon learns that the prisoner is none other than Gale Brederick, a man whose decency once showed Greth another way for his two peoples.

Advance Praise

 “On Light and Stone is a fantastical adventure with thought-provoking depth.

With humor reminiscent of Terry Pratchett, vibrant world building, depth in every place you’d hope for it and a never boring pace, this story paints a vivid picture (sometimes of brightly colored tights) with every chapter.

Greth’s journey takes you along to think, laugh and marvel at a tale that’s unique in the way it blends the elements of fantasy, mystery, and humor together in a peculiar world with a perfect balance of absurdity, elegance and emotion. Serious and touching, tense and dangerous, funny at the perfect time, the storytelling is a perfectly woven thread into a beautiful tapestry of a finale, and a joy to experience.

Tell every Dorik you know to give this one a read."
