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

Ahead Gideon stopped. Airk was so intent on watching for danger that he ran into their guide. Shaela caught Kitt as he fell from the outlaw’s back. “What now?” she wanted to know.


Gideon held up a hand. He sniffed the air and glanced around as if looking for something. “Gwinnie?”


Kitt looked at Shaela, puzzled. “Who’s he looking for?”


She replied. “He isn’t altogether here.”


Suddenly Gideon stared out ahead from them. Everyone followed his gaze and saw nothing, but Gideon seemed to be holding a conversation with the air. After a few moments, Airk turned to Shaela. “Ignore him. I do.”


She shot him a withering glance. “I noticed. Or did you run into him on purpose?”


Airk brushed off that remark. “Have the Stones reacted any here?”


Apart from a dull throbbing, she hadn’t noticed anything else from the two Stones. “No. Why do you ask?”


He shrugged. “I thought they might get excited this close.”
