The Sound of the Stones: Book One in the Shattered Time Series by Beth Hammond

An ancient book
A hidden prophecy
A quest to save humanity

When Frankie breaks the binding on an ancient book Ashra’s world intertwines with her own.

Evil seeks to destroy humanity, but Ashra is more powerful than she knows. As a new king ascends the throne both her virtue and her life are in danger. She risks everything to flee the city in search of answers. In her quest to save humanity she finds love, uncovers mysteries from the past, and unlocks a primordial magic she never knew she had.

The multi perspective, epic setting of Game of Thrones meets the “book within a book” concept of The Never Ending Story. With a sense of humor similar to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and romantic undertones reminiscent of The Name of the Wind, The Sound of the Stones appeals to a wide fantasy loving audience.
