Monument at Landing - Hardcover

by Jeffry Dwight (Author)

Grey has a home, a family, and a peaceful life,

But the king calls him to service as new dangers reveal themselves.

Can Grey survive what he discovers?

For three thousand years, the monks have hidden the Second Colony's records in plain sight.

Grey's passion for restoring ancient technology drives him into danger and intrigue. He and the king force the monks to open their most sacred reliquary, hoping to find weapons to fight the sorcerers and records to regain lost knowledge. Together, they discover that all the secrets they seek lie buried under the monument at Landing-but remain maddeningly inaccessible.

Rings of standing stones dot the continent of Leonais. No one knows why the ancient architects and engineers built these megalithic structures. They resemble the legendary Stonehenge from prehistoric Terra, but they are not ordinary monuments. Commonly called "faerie mounds" or "dolmens," humans instinctively avoid them. Wildlife will not approach. The muria cannot enter. Even nearby trees lean away as if trying to escape. Grey is one of the few able to manipulate the monuments' energies, but doing so entails great risk for his family, friends, and the entire kingdom.
