An Illustrated Fantasy Saga

The Stone Guardians is an epic fantasy novel series told through both story and art.

 

Each book follows a group of unlikely companions drawn together by a mysterious message and an ancient prophecy that has been waiting centuries to awaken.

 

Classic hand-drawn illustrations accompany the narrative, revealing characters, creatures, and landscapes from the realms of Eryos as the story unfolds.

A World of Ancient Magic

Beyond the quiet shores of Myris Dar lies a forgotten history buried beneath ruins and centuries of silence.

 

Old powers stir in distant lands, secrets long hidden begin to surface, and the Guardians who once stood against injustice and evil may not be gone after all.

 

As the journey begins, the truth behind an ancient message will awaken new heroes, drawing them into a destiny far greater than they imagined.
