“Dragon Heartstone,” the thrilling second installment of the Westfal series, continues the epic adventure that began in “Grail of Culloden.”
Recently healed but without her dark arts ability, Faline has survived to find herself hunted by Riasean, a relentless half-elf assassin. Meanwhile, Gall journeys southward seeking help for Larah, who remains deeply traumatized by her ordeal at the Citadel of the Crescent Moon. His plans are interrupted when urgent news from Bretagne demands his attention. Leaving Larah in the trusted care of Vig and Alric (Britta’s father), Gall and Britta ride for Bretagne to confront the chaos he inadvertently created.
Unknown to our heroes, greater threats loom. Dathon, backed by the powerful Grand Council of Magi and allied with the Brotherhood of Assassins, returns seeking vengeance. Their target? King Alric’s throne. As these shadows gather, Faline’s army from Drachnor marches toward Bretagne, tightening the noose around the troubled kingdom.
Within Bretagne itself, King Edwyn’s reign of terror intensifies as he unleashes murderous retribution against his own people, striking down enemies both real and imagined.
And somewhere, waiting to be discovered, lies the Dragon Heartstone—a pure element of fire. Powerful, destructive, and all-consuming, this ancient artifact must be returned to the Caretakers to rebuild the weakening Mordwahl. For if it collapses, more malevolent entities than Faline will be free to wreak terror and destruction in Westfal.
