Plot Summary of Dark Waters - The Chronicle of Unbinding 2
"Stone's gripping fantasy series comes to it's own in this novel his world-building skills are impressive as he once again takes us to a world reeling from a horrible mage war and how mages created a spell to take the magic out of the world and NOW a sorcerer called Madh and the assassin, Hain seek to undue the spell!
       Brandt Karrelian, the former spy turned Industrialist is obsessed in hunting down the sadistic assasin called Hain who crippled his best friend. He is aided by childhood friend and thief called Marwick, the chaldean spy Elena Imbress and seasoned forest, Callom Pell. This novel has it all: plot twists as you see power-hungry chaldean general Amet Pale schemes to control the country.

Our heroes must battle mythical monsters, bloodthirsty cult of immortal killers. Stone's action sequences are violent and mesmerizing as you see magical battles and scenes of brutal hand to hand combat and the final confrontation between Karrelian and Hain a top of a stone Island!"

Rodney Powell, Resident Scholar
