About this ebook

A princess in search of a miracle
A wizard apprentice in search of a stone
A knight in search of his place

In six weeks, Princess Ayla will assume the throne left vacant by her murdered father. But without the magical Pennlan stone, stolen by her evil fae stepmother, Ayla fears her reign may be short-lived.

Cade, her best friend and wizard apprentice, has been tasked to retrieve the stone from the dangerous fae realm. Completing this quest will be the last step toward becoming a fully-fledged wizard—and may just win the heart of his beloved princess. But Cade’s not going alone. Ward, a knight eager to prove himself, has been tapped to escort him - and has his eye on the princess as well.

But as their journey takes them farther from home, a mysterious fae girl begins to follow them, swearing their quest is a lie and there's more to the king's death then they've been told. And most importantly: she knows exactly where to find the stone.

Full of twists and turns, magical monsters, and a slow burn mystery, A Quest of Blood and Stone is sure to delight all young adult readers of epic fantasy fiction.

Author

S. Usher Evans

S. Usher Evans is an author, blogger, and witty banter aficionado. Born in Pensacola, Florida, she left the sleepy town behind for the fast-paced world of Washington, D.C.. There, she somehow landed jobs with BBC, Discovery Channel, and National Geographic Television before finally settling into a “real job” as an IT consultant. After a quarter life crisis at age 27, she decided consulting was for the birds and rekindled a childhood passion for writing novels. She sold everything she owned and moved back to Pensacola, where she currently resides with her two dogs, Zoe and Mr. Biscuit.Evans is the author of the Razia series and Empath, both published by Sun’s Golden Ray Publishing.

    Originally seen on Emily Reads Everything In my review of Double Life, I talked about how I liked the story, but I wished that Razia was.... more. I want her to be kinder, more understanding, more mature. I struggled with her maturity level because I could see the person that she could be. If only she would calm down and stop jumping to conclusions all the time.I liked Alliances too. There I revealed my everlasting love for Sage Teon and Lizbeth. The two of them are a formidable team when it comes to annoying Razia as well as keeping her out of trouble as much as possible. In Alliances she had grown a little but she was still making the same mistakes. She had more to worry about that personal growth . Other things kept her attention.Conviction was IT for me! It was the book I've been waiting for!Finally! This book was everything that I had hoped and prayed and knew that it could be. Razia was finally lived up to my very high expectations. The Razia that I kept spying little glimpses of in the other books emerged and I loved her! This book had all of the introspection and growth and struggle that I've been waiting for since I read S. Usher Evans first book. It was worth waiting for!Still this book had tons of action too. It's not all the personal, touchy feely crap that I've been waiting for. If feelings aren't your thing you will be happy to know that Conviction keeps up the wild and nonstop pace the other two have had as well. Of course, Razia gets in trouble with Dissident. When has she ever been on his good side? Not only does she have to deal with Dissident's terrible attitude as well as the rest of the pirates inherent sexism and bias. She also has to contend with one of her biggest scrapes yet.I feel like S. Usher Evans has hit her stride now. Every book has been better than the last. From everything I've heard, Fusion is even better.I can't wait.
