"This is simply the best series that I've read in a long time! I wholeheartedly recommend this engaging adventure. Once you start, you are drawn in and enjoy every page." — Anton Todd (UK)

​The shadow of an ancient evil stirs.
Creatures of legend walk once more.
And two unlikely heroes must rise—or their world will fall.


For three hundred years, the Five Realms have known peace. Until now.

Elodi never sought power. Yet after her father’s sudden death, she is forced to lead her people—burdened by doubt, her authority questioned, and tested when a horror from the past storms Calerdorn’s gates. But what she faces is only the beginning. Far greater dangers gather beyond her borders.

Toryn, a farmhand haunted by a legacy that could claim his life, is driven from his home and thrust onto a perilous path he never wanted. When a long-forgotten power reveals the truth of his bloodline, he must decide whether to flee his fate… or become it.

As old stories awaken and long-dormant forces move once more, their separate journeys reveal a deeper threat rising across the land—one the Archon refuses to face. Mountains lie between them. Leagues stretch long and perilous. And the cost of failure will be everything they hold dear.
​
Song of Echoes is the first book in a five-part epic fantasy series, Legacy of the Stones. With sweeping world-building, dark prophecies and ancient magic, this is a timeless tale of courage and sacrifice that will stay with you long after the final page. Perfect for readers who long for immersive, fantasy journeys.

If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings, you will love this series. The scope of this story as it unfolds is breathtaking, it is truly riverting, I cannot put it down... waiting with bated breath for the next installment." — The Kindle Reader

​“I find it rare for books published today to have that feel of classic epic fantasy, but R.E. Palmer perfectly captures the atmosphere of the fantasy stories of old.” 
— The Lit Review


“This novel certainly had the Middle-Earth, Lord of the Rings tone. An epic high fantasy with well-developed characters and an engaging story.” --GoodReads Reviewer

"A writing style that feels classic in the Tolkien vein. Song of Echoes, by R.E. Palmer, is an epic fantasy with well-drawn characters and a classic feel. It starts off slowly but builds powerfully, its sympathetic characters operating in a beautifully-described landscape of rugged mountains and primordial forests and swamps."
—  Virginia Reader

ABOUT R.E. PALMER
Picture
I’m an English author inspired by the timeless worlds of classic epic fantasy. Growing up, I was captivated by tales of ancient kingdoms, hidden magic, and enduring legends—authors such as Tolkien and Donaldson left a lasting mark on my imagination.

​My Legacy of the Stones series is a tribute to the great traditions of epic fantasy: destiny, sacrifice, and the age-old battle between shadow and light. I hope you enjoy the journey.
