Lies of Stone - Paperback

by Leona R. Wisoker (Author), Christina Yoder (Artist), Monica Marier (Artist)

Tank, once an unwitting tool of powerful factions in his southern homeland, spent years hiding from his past in an effort to stay alive; the people who used him intended it to be a fatal experience. He now works as a freewarrior -- a type of bonded mercenary with strict codes of conduct.

Lia volunteered -- even begged -- to enter the service of a powerful man in her northern home, the rigidly austere, almost theocratic city of Stecatr. But as Stecatr slid from austere to harsh, Lia chose freewarrior training -- not an easy thing for a woman to do, in such a conservative setting.

Lia's choices take her far south of Stecatr, and well astray from her plans. She learns more than enough to start questioning everything the Stecatr Church taught her; and when she hires on with Tank, the questions -- and dangers -- only multiply.

As they travel, their very different pasts provoke unexpected trouble. Tank must come to terms with powerful psychic abilities he's denied for years; Lia must decide between her own safety and that of her family.
