The Seven Stones is the first book of an adventure-fantasy arc. Battle has temporarily ceased between Uvar and Lamora. A treaty must be signed to prevent any more bloodshed. Leonahari Almadzi, the General of Lamora, is in charge of the Empress' safety, and would risk her life to protect the Empire, but a new darkness is rising, and she alone cannot stop it. Leona must swallow her pride and rely on the help of a few unlikely companions: an Uvarian exile, a blacksmith and a master thief. Together they must set their differences aside. The fate of the world depends on it.
