All that has ever been is woven into the Song.
But new voices rise within—voices of dark discord.
And the few who hear the echoes fear what comes.
Perfect for readers who love:
• Deep, layered magic systems • Ancient histories that shape the present • Reluctant heroes facing their fate • Expansive, character-driven epic fantasy For three hundred years, the Five Realms have known peace. Now, that peace is breaking. Elodi never wanted to rule. But when her father dies, she is thrust into power—her authority questioned, her people divided, and a horror from the past already at her gates. Yet what she faces is only the beginning. Far greater dangers gather beyond her borders. Toryn is a farmhand haunted by a legacy that could kill him. Driven from his home and thrust onto a perilous path, he is forced to confront a truth buried in his blood. When a long-hidden power begins to awaken, he must decide: run from what he is… or become it. As their journeys unfold, it becomes clear the Song is changing—and something long buried is rising with it. Long-dormant forces begin to move. And the greatest threat of all may come from those who refuse to see what is happening. Mountains divide them. Leagues stretch vast and unforgiving. And the cost of failure will be everything they hold dear. ![]() “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.
