The first book in the Memory Stone series features Theus, a boy from a very poor farming family, who is sold as an indentured servant to provide enough money for his family to be able to buy food. The story introduction in book one, "Journey Through the River Cities", is the first part of what should take four volumes to complete the planned plot line. There's little in the way of the practice of magic in this book, though there are hints of magic in the manifestations of the powers of the gods, and in the memory stones themselves. This book is building the foundation of the story, and the rest of the series will feature more action and adventure as the plot unfolds through Theus's life. I hope everyone will enjoy!
