The Wandering Isles: A Crown of Stones Novella (Soulbound Journeys Book 1)
by C. L. Schneider
Explore the darker side of magic in this epic fantasy adventure that takes you deep into the mind of two men bound by an ancient spell and haunted by their past.
Ian Troy sacrificed everything for peace. For the first time in his life, he is free to choose his own path, and sets sail on a journey of exploration with his friend and ally, Jarryd Kane. Months on the open sea, far from the shores of home, they arrive at an isolated chain of rocky islands shrouded in mystery. Assuming the lands abandoned, Ian is unaware of what awaits them: a race of insidious beings unlike any he has encountered before.
Coerced into a nefarious trade by the elusive islanders, reality blurs, as Ian and Jarryd become unwitting subjects in a series of mind-bending trials. Past and future fears, resurrected and melded into their own private hells, force them to face an inescapable enemy—the darkest recesses of their own minds. The only way off the isles is to complete the trade, but will their sanity survive the process?
