Troy
Can a man born a slave change his
destiny with one secret mission?
Troy
A
Crown of Stones Origin Story
by
C.L. Schneider
Genre:
Epic Fantasy
Born
of the Shinree, an enslaved fallen race, Ian Troy is magically bound
to protect the kingdom of Rella. Since childhood, he trained to be
their champion in a seemingly never-ending war. Called to the
battlefield, a brash young man of seventeen, Troy is anxious to show
off his prowess with both magic and blade. He believes his role is
vital to the realms of Mirra’kelan
finally knowing peace.
Only,
war is nothing like he thought.
After
a year of being mistrusted and shunned simply for the blood in his
veins—his magic restrained by an authoritarian queen—Troy has
grudgingly learned his place. He follows orders and suffers their
abuse in silence because the cost of insolence is a chain around his
neck.
When
Queen Aylagar handpicks him for a mission deep inside enemy
territory, he thinks his time has come. Fate willing, he will prove
to them all: Ian Troy is more than the “witch” they believe.
*Troy

Born
in a small Kansas town on the Missouri River, C.L. Schneider grew up
in a house of avid readers and overflowing bookshelves. Her first
full-length novel took shape while she was still in high school, on a
typewriter in her parent’s living room. Though Schneider has been
writing all of her life, Magic-Price (the award-winning first
installment in The Crown of Stones Trilogy) was her first published
novel.
While
her main focus is epic and urban fantasy for adults, she dabbles in
all areas of speculative fiction. Her stories tend to be dark,
conflict-laden tales full of magic and mystery, action and intrigue,
antiheroes and villains, monsters and myths, friendship, love, loss
and sacrifice—with enough twists to give you whiplash.
