Heartstone Under the Shadow

About the Book

Ten years after the events recounted in Heartstone, enemies threaten Elinala´s peace by threatening its chief architect--Derrick of Loneoak Island. Not only does this conspiracy have roots in the mysterious Shadow Empire, but the conspiracy also has a far more terrifying goal--to force Derrick into reawakening heartstone.

The method used by this conspiracy? Destroy everything Derrick loves.

Once again, ancient evils threaten to destroy Elinala, but this time the greatest evil may be caused by Derrick himself.

Exactly what the Shadow Empire wants.
