Set in an India-inspired world with a large cast of characters, The Stonebound Heir is a bittersweet, coming-of-age story about a boy who wants a better life, a girl who's hiding from the world, a giant who's the last of her kind, and a maharani driven by duty and her own darkness.
Fourteen-year-old Sid Sol knows nothing about his origins but believes himself destined for better things than living in an isolated cabin with a giant and a girl whose strange appearance causes the locals to shun them. His fellow orphan, sixteen-year-old Lingli Tabaan, only wants a home where she will be safe from those who are convinced she’s from the otherworld.
In this coming-of-age story of secret origins, friendship, and betrayal, the arrival of a mysterious woman provides Sid with the chance to claim a more glorious future, but his departure doesn’t go smoothly, and star-cursed Lingli is forced to undertake a journey she never wanted after their guardian is brutally murdered.
Sid and Lingli meet again in Saatkulom where they serve a mercurial maharani who will risk the realm to secure a new alliance while fighting her own inner demons. One teenager’s fortunes rise while the other’s fall. Will their loyalty to one another survive?
Author's Note from L. A. Barnitz
I'm tired of funding Bezos and really trying to move readers to my online store, so I'd prefer that link to be advertised, but of course, it is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo and more. *The ebook is also available from libraries via Hoopla.
