When Stones Obey

Once in a century, the Crownfire chooses a Dragon Lord. It does not care for royal blood. Corren Halewick is only a shepherd’s son—until the stones obey him. Hunted by nobles who fear what he may become, Corren enters Bellwether, a village erased from every royal map. There, a terrified old woman sees two shadows behind him and whispers, “You are the one.” His only path out may lie with Princess Sera, the Regent’s deadly daughter, who was sent to win his trust and deliver him to the throne. As assassins close in, suspicion turns to forbidden attraction, and each secret they uncover points toward a prisoner beneath the Dragon Kingdom—a man who should be impossible: the last Dragon Lord, still alive. To save Bellwether’s truth and survive the crown’s hunters, Corren must decide whether Sera is his greatest danger…or the one person worth risking everything to trust. Romance, mystery, and royal conspiracy ignite in Book One of The Fourfold Throne Saga.
