UNDER FRAGILE STONE

THE ARCHISAN TALES

Taya and Lorkrin’s shape-changing tribe faces an invasion by Noran, whose rulers want to mine the valuable iron ore from the sacred mountain, Absaleth. But the mountain is haunted and every attempt to dig into it is met with
supernatural
resistance.

Then a mine tunnel collapses and the miners are trapped. With them are Taya and Lorkrin’s parents, Nayalla and Mirkrin, who had been searching for their unruly children. Taya and Lorkrin are terrified for their parents. But help arrives in the form of a man who knows these mountains better than anyone – their Uncle Emos. He and his friend Draegar tell the Noranians that there is one chance for the trapped people – another entrance to the caves far back in the mountain range in an area inhabited by the violent, inbred Reisenicks, who hate outsiders.

A rescue party sets out as the mountain starts to collapse in on itself and the land all around threatens to pull itself apart …

The Gods and Their Machines

Chamus’s nightmare begins when he survives a massacre. Suicidal assassins from neighbouring Bartokhrin are
terrorising
his country, Altima. How do you fight someone who isn’t afraid of death?

Across the border, Riadni is no ordinary Bartokhrian girl; she dresses like a boy, fights like a boy, spits and rides her horse like a boy. When the Hadram Cassal set up camp on her father’s land, she is drawn to these rebels who are
prepared
to fight – and to die – for their homeland.

A crash landing in Bartokhrian territory forces Chamus and Riadni together and they find themselves on the run, hunted by killers, danger and death closing in on them from all sides …
