Where the Stone Opens

About the book

Faerie noticed you first. It noticed Rowan too. Rowan didn’t mean to cross into Faerie. She certainly didn’t mean to become important. Faerie is a realm of divided courts, living magic, and rules no one explains until it’s far too late. Names carry weight. Time misbehaves. Shadows linger where they shouldn’t. And something bound long ago is beginning to listen. As Rowan is drawn into fae politics, ancient oaths, and a growing sense that no one is telling her the whole truth, she begins to realise that Faerie itself is fraying; and that surviving it may matter more than defeating whatever waits beneath the stone. It is a story about the allure of forbidden thresholds, and the slow, terrifying question of whether the desire to open them is truly your own. Where the Stone Opens is a dark, lyrical faerie fantasy about grief, identity, and messy survival. Expect morally complicated magic, queer found family, sharp humour cutting through dread, and a world that remembers what you try to forget. Side effects may include: emotional attachment, unease about mirrors, and a strong desire to read the next book. Some things are not meant to wake. But stories have a way of remembering.
