Taya Otieno has been trained to weigh her steps.
Daughter of legendary paladins, she leaves the safety of the Sage's Palace to climb a cliff no one else will touch-a test of skill, faith, and solitude meant to quiet the noise of a world that never stops demanding justice. But before the climb can begin, violence finds her.
Hobgoblins raid the borderlands, and Taya must choose between silence and action, between a clean conscience and a costly one.
Unarmored and alone, she moves through shadow and stone, guided by prayer and a blade made of light. Each decision carries weight. Each mercy risks consequence. And every ascent must eventually face the harder truth of descent.
Set in the richly imagined world of Low Moon, A Measure of Stone and Light is a story about justice that listens, courage that acts without witnesses, and the quiet moments that shape who we become when no one is watching
