An ancient evil stirs. The realms stand divided. Who will rise when all seems lost?
Toryn, a young man haunted by a legacy he fears may claim his life, is forced to flee his home. But when he's seized by a witch in the north, the truth of his destiny is revealed — a truth that terrifies him. Elodi, called to lead her people after her father’s sudden death, is burdened by doubt. When a creature from the past storms the gates of Calerdorn, she finds the courage to face the rampaging hordes that seek to enslave her people. But this is only the beginning; a far greater horror looms, one that will test every ounce of her strength and resolve. To stand against the darkness, Toryn and Elodi must awaken the power within and bind their strength as one. Yet mountains rise between them, and the leagues of the vast lands stretch long and perilous. As the shadows creep across the world, can they overcome their fears and unite before all they hold dear is lost? Song of Echoes is the first book in a five-part epic fantasy series, Legacy of the Stones, perfect for fans of The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, and the Shannara Chronicles. With sweeping world-building, dark prophecies, and ancient, unforgiving magic, this is a timeless high fantasy tale of courage and sacrifice that will stay with you long after the final page. Start reading Song of Echoes today and lose yourself in this saga of epic battles, gruelling quests, and heroes who refuse to give up.

"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."

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.
