Synopsis

An instant favorite series from a fresh indie author!

The Learner Trilogy continues in The Tree and Stone, the eagerly awaited sequel to Andrew Monroe's debut novel, A Leaf and Pebble, from an epic fantasy writer with a fresh approach and style.

War has broken out. After narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, Nil and Volant are locked into political upheaval and change the likes of which Balteris has never seen. Their allies are dwindling, and there seems to be no hope in sight. Their homes, families, and friends' fate depends on the actions they take and the choices they will make. Are they strong enough to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, or will this be the end of their journey?.

As sides are being taken, an airship has gone missing to piracy. Someone is sowing discord through the mountain city of Kalaran with alchemical explosions, and a people stand at the edge of obliteration.

In a land where some natives can use elemental magic or focus on studying the challenging art of becoming a Learner, a gripping tale of two friends began.

Balteris is an enormous peninsula with an impassable causeway leading to an unknown land. The seas around it are filled with mysterious and deadly creatures, keeping the inhabitants penned into the region. Naturals, who have an inborn talent for elemental manipulation, make up a portion of the otherwise regular population. But an even smaller percentage of the people study Skill and are therefore called Learners. This study allows the Learner to manipulate raw willpower into a powerful energy force. Two of these people, Nil a Learner and Volant a Natural, are forced to abandon their respective studies to save their own lives and uncover a mysterious group that has been slowly plotting to turn Balteris' five city-states into war-mongering kingdoms. Along the way, they must learn to survive, grow in their powers, and save their people.
