The Rending
(The Stone Cycle #1.5)
by Allan N. Packer
This book takes the reader a little of course for a minute and shows us a different battle, a good Queen, and we learn that there are more than one special stone. We are introduced to another stone that is searched for. It's a short book but the story comes into play later. Great characters and world building! Nothing in these stories are put there by accident. Wonderfully plotted throughout the series.

Evil is in many ways always present, as Anneka discovered. Born a noble woman, being married to an able and well regarded nobleman the last thing Anneka expected was for her husband and child to being killed by the evil machinations of an ambitious and jealous nobleman.
But then, he made a huge mistake, not knowing her background not her growing need for revenge.
But safety first.
The Rendering is a prequel to the series The Cost of Knowing by author Allan Packer
. Judging from this prequel the series is bound to be as stunning as the prequel.
Enjoy
