What
is the Essence of Stone?
Kehan struggles daily for the answer to this question, for only when he can give the
correct answer will his master, the powerful, but blind sorcerer Xikander start to teach
him the mysteries which are locked in the old man's mind. Only then will he teach him the
powerful magic he knows, and only when Kehan is himself a powerful sorcerer will the
people of his village treat he and his mother with the respect that he so craves.
His master orders him to accompany him on a quest. Their destination and purpose are cloaked in secrecy. Along the way
Kehan will make new friends and enemies and face challenges on many levels, but will he
ever find the essence of stone?

fantasy writers tend to follow established paths and deal with locations and cultures that
are basically familiar, Beverly Hale doesn't do that.
With The Essence of Stone
she strikes out into new little explored country and creates a story that will keep
readers turning page after page. Check it
Out!” – Bradley H. Sinor, author & reviewer
“A delightful fantasy with
authentic other-culture insights, a wonderful cat—well, just ask her—and a
wizard with an attitude. I thoroughly enjoyed
it.”
