The Eight Lands of Pharr are in trouble, and the only ones who can help are a young princess and the sister she believes lost. They hold two of the four Magical Stones, created long ago by an Ancient Mystic to channel the magic of his bloodline. But when an evil witch named Patadora Coggs seeks to control the Stones, the two girls must join forces to save their unsuspecting world. With them is a motley crew gathered as they travel to retrieve the remaining two Stones. Airk Ranon, cynical Weapons Master. The Baret Wray and First Commander Dungan Weir, who command King Randel's army. Elke, a centurion who has never been away from home. Skotak, an Emini Plainsman who provides steeds for the travelers. Dreux, a young prince seeking adventure, and his lover, Estelle. And Kitt, a young orphan held enslaved by pirates. Chased by Patadora's Maelnords and her own shapeshifting daughter, and by the infamous Weapons Master's outlaw reputation, the young friends travel land and sea in their quest to find the last two Stones. Once they have the Magical Stones of Pharr in their possession, they must travel to the witch's lair and end her evil reign of terror.

The Magical Stones of Pharr

Over dinner, Dreux asked, “How are we going to find the final Stone?”


“We’ll find that trader,” Wray said, “and ask for it back.”


Airk surveyed the room. Drunk with wine, he staggered to his feet, too fast for Shaela to pull him down. “Hey!”


All eyes turned towards him. Estelle and Jaelin ducked their heads while Shaela busied herself with Kitt.


Airk paid them no heed. “Anyone here know of Gypth named Ikpikpuktok? Real big hairy type of guy?”


When Airk sank back to his seat, Shaela slapped him hard across the mouth. He stared at her, ignoring the blood on his lip. Kitt stared at his hero in wide-eyed surprise. “What’d you do that for?” the outlaw cried.


Kitt turned away and met the eyes of the Baret Wray. Something in the Baret’s gaze made Kitt cup his hands to his mouth to smother the laughter threatening to come.
