Lies of Stone

<p>Tank once an unwitting tool of powerful factions in his southern homeland spent years hiding from his past in an effort to stay alive; the people who used him intended it to be a fatal experience. He now works as a freewarrior -- a type of bonded mercenary with strict codes of conduct.</p><p><br></p><p>Lia volunteered -- even begged -- to enter the service of a powerful man in her northern home the rigidly austere almost theocratic city of Stecatr. But as Stecatr slid from austere to harsh Lia chose freewarrior training -- not an easy thing for a woman to do in such a conservative setting. </p><p><br></p><p>Lia's choices take her far south of Stecatr and well astray from her plans. She learns more than enough to start questioning everything the Stecatr Church taught her; and when she hires on with Tank the questions -- and dangers -- only multiply.</p><p><br></p><p>As they travel their very different pasts provoke unexpected trouble. Tank must come to terms with powerful psychic abilities he's denied for years; Lia must decide between her own safety and that of her family. </p>
