The Crown of Stones

Magic-Borne Cover Reveal

My favorite (currently living) fantasy author is C.L. Schneider. I discovered her Magic series and, much like her protagonist, Ian Troy, became a Magic addict. As a friend, and moreover a fan of her series, I've been basically stalking her for months, hoping for crumbs. It's truly a beautiful thing when you have die-hard fans, but a terrible burden when they hound you day and night, demanding their next fix. Ms. Schneider, can you not hear me banging out here?!
Well, C.L. Is finally giving me a tiny taste of what's to come, and I'm frothing...

(Plus, I have a terrible crush on this delicious and surly creature!)

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Borne Cover Reveal
He’s paid for his addiction. He’s been scarred by his spells. He’s borne magic’s weight, its pleasure, and its guilt. But will he surrender to it when the realm needs him most?
Magic-Borne, the final installment of my epic fantasy trilogy, The Crown of Stones, is almost here! The Crown of Stones follows the trials of Ian Troy; a man struggling with an inborn addiction to magic in a world where magic is reviled, not revered.

The cover of Magic-Borne was designed by artist Alan Dingman.

Synopsis:
In one fell swoop, the resistance was shattered. Lives were taken. Hope was lost. Peace slipped like grains of sand through his fingers. So did the Crown of Stones. Now, forced into hiding, Ian Troy grapples for a way to save the realm—and free its people—from the sadistic clutches of Jem Reth; Mirra’kelan’s new self-appointed emperor. Plagued with the knowledge of a tragic future, he strives to influence events and save those he cares for. But his magic has betrayed him, and Fate has other plans.
Scarred by the crown, hindered by the transformation spell contained within, each cast brings Ian one step closer to becoming more beast than man. Each move brings the death and destruction foretold in his vision inexplicably nearer. With Langor on the brink of war, and King Malaq’s plan for peace hanging in the balance, Ian returns to the ancient past; seeking an end to the eldring spell and a means to thwart Jem’s growing domination. What he finds there sets off a chain of revelations that leads Ian places he never thought to go.
Entrusted with the future of his race, Ian becomes the linchpin for lasting change. But how much weight can one man carry? And how much is he willing to sacrifice in the name of peace?

I MUST KNOW!!
