Ballad for the Stone: A Chronicle of Veyldrim
In the northern mountains of Veyldrim, something ancient is stirring.
When wandering bard Fin Farvale saves a halfling thief from a goblin ambush, he expects little more than a quick thanks and a quieter conscience. Instead, the road leads them to The Deep, a dwarven city rotting from the inside out. Goblins raid in organized packs. A commander clings to control through fear and blood. Children whisper with the voices of the dead, and dwarves crawl from the mines like revenants, their bodies blooming with crystal shards and black death.
At the heart of the unrest lies the Bleeding Stone, a relic the faithful call divine and the skeptics dismiss as superstition. As a cunning goblin warlord closes in and strange forces stir beneath the stone, Fin realizes his only weapon is the one he’s always feared: connection.
To survive The Deep, he’ll have to stop running, face what broke him, and decide whether to embrace the terrible power that once destroyed everything he loved.
Grim, bloody, and darkly funny, Ballad for the Stone is a dark epic fantasy for fans of Joe Abercrombie and Nicholas Eames. Brutal, heartfelt, and unforgettable to the end.
