Rune of the Apprentice: Limited First Edition Hardcover
In a world where magic, technology, and nature have merged, the few who can control Runes hold dominance over all of creation. All believe that Aleksi, a sixteen-year-old orphan, was blessed to be born with a Rune embedded in his palm, but that’s only because they don’t know the truth―Aleksi’s Rune is so powerful it’s killing him.
Asura, a brutal emperor who uses Runes to conquer entire continents, will stop at nothing to kill Aleksi and claim the boy’s power for his own. With Aleksi’s Rune burning its way through his body and assassins hunting his every step, his survival depends on discerning ally from enemy and learning to tame the competing forces of light and dark within.
With the burden of his rune haunting his days and the prophetic whispers of a young captive priestess illuminating his nights, Aleksi will be able to unravel the mysteries of his past, rescue the girl in his dreams, and challenge the most powerful warlord the world has ever known only if the one thing keeping him alive―his Rune―does not kill him first.
Review
"With Jamison Stone, you get a writer who clearly understands the epic fantasy audience, yet also finds a way to appeal to readers who rarely explore these kinds of books. I belong to the latter group. The key here is to excel at characterization and plot, as Stone does. In addition, I found that Stone's writing has an almost poetic allure where there is a beautiful and insightful rhythm to his word choices. Stone's writing style is quite seductive. Like an artist, Stone uses descriptive words as his brush, meticulously painting each character." -Nerdy Girl Express
"This is a superb fantasy adventure I couldn't put down. It should provide hours of entertainment and adventure for readers of fantasy, or any lover of high adventure." -Clabe Polk Mystery and Adventure Review
