Casting in Stone Book One of the Averraine Cycle

The evil that seemed to track Caoimhe throughout her life had caused so many tragedies. She fled her old life, trying to lose herself in anonymity , but the unholy circumstances of her birth, and the machinations of those who sought to use her existence to further their own schemes followed her still. Can she overcome a long-dead evil and finally be free? Morgan Smith has been a goatherd, an artist, a landscaper, a weaver, a bookstore owner, a travel writer and an archaeologist, and she will drop everything to go anywhere, on the flimsiest of pretexts. Writing is something she has been doing all her life, though, one way or another, and now she thinks she might actually have something to say. Enter a world of magic and mayhem through the experiences of everyday heroes. The novels of the Averraine Cycle follow the long shadows of a mythical past as they affect those who are confronted with the remnants of an ancient evil, one that still threatens to overturn centuries of uneasy peace.. The books are connected, but are also "stand-alone" tales that can be read in any order.
