The Story
Another adventure for Jahl, Donya, and Rouen as they head for Carolan Faire to aid the apprentice of the recently deceased Master Wielder of the city.
The Characters
Jahl Pratter: As the recognized wielder of Clan Donnal, he has been called in to fulfill the duties of the head of the wielder clans. He's never been to Carolan Faire.
Donya Marson: She convinces Rouen and Jahl she is indispensable to the success of their journey.
Rouen Marson: Rouen agrees to accompany Jahl to Carolan Faire. What could possibly go wrong?
The World
Within the cities of An Faire along the An Mountain range, wielders practice magic, most often using a tile of stone large enough for a person to stand on it. The stone provides the essence necessary to support spells, which can be used for a variety of practical needs.
A plague occurred sixteen years ago and killed all but a few magic wielders in the town of Chussan Faire. No native wielders practice spells anymore as it is believed that will reignite the plague. The surviving half of the human population are non-magical and have adapted to the loss of practical magic. Businesses have filled the occupations left behind by the decimated wielder clans.
Wielders come of age at sixteen years old and may work as wielders, making their living from their magic. Each wielder must carry his own standing stone, either clan-owned or rented from the local mercantile.

It’s the simplest things that can surprise you.
Young wielder Pratter agrees to travel to Carolan Faire to pick up an apprentice whose master died unexpectedly and bring him to the Chussen wielder school.
It seemed simple enough until he learned that wielders are being attacked, their powers of wielding the magic essence stolen from them. Before he can even get his first night’s sleep in the dead master’s house, someone enters through locked doors and attacks Jahl’s friend Rouen.
By noon, no one is safe and anyone could be the assailant.
Can Jahl identify the attacker in time to stop the next wielder from suffering a similar fate? Is his own high level of magic control going to make him a prime target?
Read the second book in the Standing Stone series because the Sinister Sisters are more than mountains named after a myth.
