The Stone Falls: The Man-Eater Saga

By Asif Shah

A thousand years ago, the Gates of Hell were sealed. The thing that closed them was not a prayer or an army. It was a stone - and the stone runs on souls.

Now a crack opens in the Hollow Gate, thirteen seconds wide, and the stone falls back into the world.

She reaches it first.

She looks like a beautiful young woman. She is ten thousand years old, and she remembers the forge where the stone was made, because she was standing beside it. She eats men to stay alive. She has done so for longer than any kingdom has had a name. And for the first time in all those centuries, she has decided there is one person she will never feed on - the young man walking beside her, who does not yet understand what he loves.

Three warrior Houses are coming for the stone. They believe they sit at the top of the world. They are about to learn there is a tier above them, and it is hungry.

But something else stirred when the seal slipped. Out in the eastern weather, on a mountain road where the air turns wrong, a horned shadow has begun to move - older than the Houses, older than the stone, older, perhaps, than her.

The magic here obeys rules. Every working has a price, and the price is paid in something that cannot be bought back. By the time you understand the cost, you will already be too far in to close the book.
