A cursed princess, a kingdom in peril, and an eternal hope.
Fans of Christian fantasy and biblical fiction will enjoy this immersive, spiritually rich story of faith, hidden love, and the power of truth to shatter what shame has built.
Princess Abighayl of Arielana has learned to make herself small.
Exiled to the countryside with her afflicted mother, overlooked by the brother who cannot risk the complications she represents, and falling in love with the man who sees her only as his duty, she has built her survival on silence. She asks nothing. She expects nothing. She tells no one that her fingers are going numb, that her joints scrape when she moves, that she is afflicted. Turning to marble. Cold and still and forgotten.
But the Most High is not finished with Arielana, and He is not finished with her.
When the long-lost Sacred Writings are discovered, everything changes. King Hosha calls his people to repentance. The false gods and their Grasps are driven from the sacred courts. And Abighayl, breaking free from her isolation, finds herself at the center of a spiritual war because a covenant was made in her name before she could speak. A powerful enemy claimed her before she could walk. And the men who died to protect her from both are a secret that has poisoned every relationship she holds dear.
Daughter of Stone is the first book in The Prophet Chronicles, a Christian biblical fantasy series inspired by the reign of King Josiah and the prophet Jeremiah. Richly imagined and deeply researched, the story follows Abighayl and Aysah through a world of false gods and spiritual warfare, political intrigue and palace betrayal, and a slow-burn romance years in the making.
