Woman of the Stone
ByPublisher Description
Oaths sworn from the heart bind tighter than chains.
Within a decaying castle at the core of a shattered empire, Em—solemn, haunted, and fiercely resolute—shields a band of orphans from a ruthless enemy. These foes don't just crave her death; they've stolen her virtue, leaving scars that whisper of vengeance. With a noose looming and shadows closing in, Em must confront the terrors she's buried—no longer fleeing into the dark, but standing defiant in the piercing light of day. Will she outflank her tormentors, or will the gallows claim her last breath?
Woman of the Stone ignites the Modutan Empire Series, a nobledark high fantasy trilogy woven with raw courage and tender healing. From Monarch in the Flames to the epic third novel arriving in 2025, Farnsworth crafts a saga where hope battles despair—and redemption is forged in fire. Begin the journey today.
