The Stone of Verabith

About this book

Cecil Laurier lives in a society where your rank is determined by your occupation. Champions rule the land while Operfixes and Casters stand on the sidelines. Cecil's day-to-day life includes caring for her grandfather and cousin in a traditional Operfix store, working on repairs and dealing with rude customers. When Champions start monitoring the shop's every move, Cecil soon discovers that her grandfather's past threatens the future of her family and society. Cecil will do anything to restore order, even if that means confronting her family's complicated history. When entrusted with the legendary Stone of Verabith, Cecil embarks on a quest with her brilliant cousin and a questionable ally to return the magical artifact to its rightful owner. Along the way, the trio is chased by young Champion Marc Thatcher who has dedicated his life to serving the government that raised him. As the chase continues, Thatcher begins to question everything he was taught. With whimsy, monsters, baked goods, and a lot of heart, the Stone of Verabith dives into what it means to be a hero.
