The Oracle Stone Series

The last of a forgotten Elven bloodline, William Carelock carries a burden heavier than any sword: the Oracle Stone. Guided by the wise mage Matrum Tanarum and joined by loyal companions, he embarks on a desperate quest to find the lost Vales—ancient sites of power that are the world’s only hope against a rising tide of darkness. That darkness has a name: Empress Telgress. Forging an empire from the ashes of her hatred, she seeks to eradicate Elven culture and twist the world's Deep Magic to her will. But even her immense power is just a shadow of the ancient evil that guides her hand: a malevolent entity named Aesthalis.

Their journey takes them across treacherous seas and into the unforgiving Sands of Morgran, a desert that hides one vale Telgress has pointed them toward. But in a world where alliances are as shifting as the desert sands, a devastating betrayal that leaves their fellowship broken shatters their quest. William and the fierce ranger Altanie must flee, leaving their friends to an unknown, brutal fate.

Now isolated and hunted, William and Altanie must press on alone into the heart of the corrupted Valley of Glass, a place of shattered memories and nightmarish trials designed to break their spirits. Here, they will discover the true nature of the enemy—not just an Empress bent on revenge, but a cosmic chaos that seeks to unmake reality itself. Can their bond withstand a power that feeds on despair? And with their allies captured or lost, can two heroes stand against a darkness that consumes even emperors?

The balance of the world is breaking. One hero must rise, or everything will fall.
