The Iron Curtain barred magic from the East.
The Curtain fell.
Magic is back.
And so are the monsters…
The magicless days may be over but Zalka’s powers haven’t gotten the memo yet. As an embarrassment for her family, all the Hungarian witch wants is to be left alone and keep her reappropriated ancestral home from crumbling. Not a simple task when the mountain she lives on begins to shake.
Zalka may only have heard of earthquakes from her beloved books, but that won’t stop her from investigating. Especially, when someone is willing to pay her to do it. She will follow prophecies of molten metal, hidden paths amid rising boulders and dark forests, and whispers of an awakening primordial beast.
What truly lies beneath the Stone Sea?
She won’t rest until she solves the riddle and stops the quakes. Even if a tall, dark, and dangerous dragon-rider keeps getting in her way.
