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. “It has the depth of Tolkien, the storytelling of Sanderson, and the epic scope of Jordan.” -- Goodreads Reviewer

ABOUT R.E. PALMER
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.
