Ever wish you were something else? Something more? Eric Redd did. Growing up on a farm could not quench his thirst for excitement and discovery. That is, until an unexpected visit from an old friend swept him into a world of uncertainty and adventure. A world where nothing is as it once was, for mages have risen from obscurity, to avenge their ancient defeat. A world of living stones, walking dead, and an endless night. A world that reminds Eric that he must be careful what he wishes for.
