Soul Stones Of Faerie

Upon returning to Faerie, Drew learns the Dryads have captured Ian and plan to execute him as a spy. Joining forces with the Dryad peace delegation, Drew and Bi Ann race to Annwyn to rescue their cousin, but the Dryads place them on trial instead. Just as the tide turns in their favor, the Swansa issues a prophecy, which changes their lives forever. From dealing with arrogant Elves to defending against vicious enemies, Drew and Bi Ann's biggest challenge comes from the Faeries? character tests. One false move and their lives will end, but should they pass the tests, they earn the right to possess the most precious treasure in Faerie: The Pangari. To save Faerie from destruction, Drew must defeat a fire-breathing dragon, recover the hidden Pangari, and save his friend from damnation in Uffern. The only enemies more dangerous than a fire-breathing dragon are the Barghests, Fachan, and Lamia; one will eat you alive, one will tear you to shreds, and one will claim your eternal soul.

What if every story, every myth and every legend were true? After surviving an attack on their lives, Ian and Kaitlyn travel to the Satyr Nation in search of the Nature Pangari, where Ian learns he should not say everything he thinks. The stubborn Satyrs, distrustful Dwarves, and xenophobic Sidhe frustrate an already stressful situation. Ian and Kaitlyn must soar through the stratosphere and delve beneath the deepest mountains to achieve their goals. Only the benevolence of territorial nature spirits will allow them to complete their quest, but all choices come with consequences. When Ian learns the truth of King Arthur, he questions the validity of Earth's myths, but when he learns about the truth about his past, Ian questions everything he's ever known about his life. To save the races from the Master, each person must make a difficult choice. The greater good always involves sacrifice, but what happens when a person has already sacrificed too much?

A Prelude to Soul Stone serves as a gateway into the magical world of Adias, the land that will be featured in Matthew S. Phillips's multi-part fantasy series. This collection is comprised of several short stories that provide a glimpse into this world.

Phillips has also included extensive appendices, which offer an introduction to the many creatures, races, places, events, and concepts.
