The Magestone Chronicles #1
Stones Unbound
Korvaan is a world of all-powerful Emperors and jealous rival Kings, where the Dar'Shilaar craft items of magic from unbound magestones. From magic portals and mirrors that can traverse great distances for use in travel or communication, to flying ships and floating citadels, the Dar'Shilaar have proven almost anything can be done. But at what cost?
Hoyle is a brash, young, street-wise, thief who specializes in acquiring things that others in Tala'ahar cannot. No treasure is guarded too well that he cannot find a way in, and, more importantly - out, with the goods.
Little does Hoyle know that his latest choice in jobs, the theft of a shipment of unbound magestones, will set in motion events that will reshape his world.
Celia is a member of the Dar'Shilaar, a Spell Wielder, who discovers the theft and is determined to track down the thief and bring them to justice. Complications arise when she encounters Hoyle, and determines that he is by far the smaller threat.
Hoyle and Celia team up to investigate the forces behind the theft and uncover a far ranging plot that twists and turns, trapping them within its web, forcing them to prove their innocence to the Emperor, or face execution.

This is a book I wrote that I would, of course, like to recommend for those of you who like fantasy adventure novels with swords and sorcery.
I gave it 4 stars because I think it could be better, and hope to strive to make Book 2 in the series even better than the first.

An excellent debut novel from author Richard C. Innis. High fantasy adventure that reminded me of Rachel Aaron's Eli Monpress novels. Lots of action and intrigue and Innis' affinity for Dungeons and Dragons is reflected by his characters and creatures found throughout the tale. The Magestone Chronicles promises to be a wonderful saga and I look forward to reading the following installments.

Solid story
This is a solid story. I picked it up because a friend told me about it. I am glad I did. This story is solid. It has sword fighting and magic. It also has a good story. I will be reading the next book. The author is hoping to have it out sometime in July. I will definitely be buying it.
