Bride of the Stone
Josephine Pennicott
Simon & Scguster, 02/03 - Australia
Despite Emma's best efforts, the sacred Eom crystal is beginning to recharge, throwing the magical
Goddess-worshipping world of Eronth into deadly turmoil. Bride of The Stone tells the story of Maya, daughter
of Emma and the mysterious Stag Man, who was stolen by an Eronth faery tribe as an infant and raised to
womanhood oblivious to both her identity and destiny in the great struggle to come.
Maya finds herself in a world threatened with destruction. The sinister
Lightcaster feeds off the Eom's dark energy to orchestrate bloody
witch-hunts, and the Sea Hags fulfil ancient prophecies by invading the land.
The Azephim dark angels scheme to harness the Eom's power and Maya's
future to realise their dreams of power.
Amidst this chaos Maya begins a long road to self-discovery, helped by the
Wizards of the Circle of Nine, freed from millennia trapped in stone.
Meanwhile on Earth, Emma's house is occupied by a new age cult whose
leader's esoteric powers are frighteningly real. But he knows little about his
own angelic lineage. He knows even less about the Azephim and other
dangerous entities drawn to the house's dormant portal between the worlds.
Maya's destiny unfolds as she falls in love with Bwani, leader of the Circle of
Nine. But are their combined powers enough stop the dark forces destroying
not only Eronth, but Earth as well?
