Description
"I was not born but given life." In the mystical heart of a land whispered by the River and the Oak, stands the guardian of history - the Standing Stone. The Tale of the Standing Stone by debut author Liam White is a captivating journey through time, exploring themes of friendship, loss, and redemption.
From the days when clans roamed and the night sky was a canvas of stories, to the quiet when the land forgot its past, the Standing Stone has seen it all. This ancient stone, a silent witness to the unfolding of ages, finds itself forgotten when the River diverts and the Oak falls.
Yet, hope is rekindled with the arrival of a new generation, who uncover the stone's magic, restoring its place in the world with the planting of a new oak.
With a background in archaeology and the classics, Liam White crafts a story that resonates with the resilience of nature and the enduring power of memory.
