Nephilim Book 1.2: The Stone Warden

He defeated his brother. He buried his past. But the earth remembers every wound.

Klure, the Stone-Singer, the last of the Nephilim, is a warrior haunted by the ghosts of a tragic victory. Now a reluctant guardian for a burgeoning village of refugees, he seeks a quiet peace. With his fiercely loyal dire wolf, Fang, at his side and the ancient, cold soul of the blade-spirit Lita within his obsidian sword, Earthsong, Klure fights to contain the destructive elemental power that is his birthright. But the scars on the land run deep, and a new threat stirs, awakened by the echoes of old magic.

A primordial terror has risen in the borderlands-a walking mountain of stone and sorrow, a colossal Golem that grinds villages to dust beneath its ponderous feet. To protect his people, Klure must hunt this new monster, but he will not hunt it alone. His path collides with Aria, an ethereal and powerful wind elemental whose own existence is threatened by the Golem's corrupting presence. She is a being of chaos, grace, and storms, a force as unpredictable as the wind she commands, and an immediate rival to the ever-watchful Fang.

Forged in a crucible of brutal training and forced to rely on an ally he doesn't trust, Klure discovers the Golem is no mere monster. It is a fallen guardian, a victim of an ancient betrayal that threatens to rewrite the very history of the world. To save the land, Klure must now do the impossible: harmonize the unyielding power of the earth with the unforgiving grace of the wind. He must learn to wield a power greater than any he has ever known, not just to destroy a foe, but to grant it peace.

From bestselling author R.J Stewart Inspire comes a new tale of epic fantasy, where unlikely heroes must unite against an ancient darkness. It is a story of profound sacrifice, of the battle between rage and mercy, and the perfect, deadly harmony that can be found between a warrior of stone, a spirit of the wind, and the loyal heart of a beast. Can Klure master the symphony of power within himself, or will the weight of the world crush him along with the forgotten god he has sworn to release?
