Generations past, in the chilled reaches of space, a lost band of itinerant travelers crash-landed on an alien world battered by ferocious storms. While searching for shelter, their numbers split, and half vanished without a trace. The remaining faction struggled for survival in the depths of a rock-shrouded realm they called the Always Dark.

Centuries later, beautiful enslaved Dwinn Somuron finds herself leading a dangerous mission to prove to a small band of believers her family legend of the Herreth's Stone is true—that explorers miraculously survived beyond the stony confines of the Always Dark.

Dwinn's single-minded plans quickly become complicated when she meets Lusaar Gursenni, sole son of the head official of the land. Lusaar is on a mission of his own—to make certain his mother retains her dynast title; it is a quest fraught with danger and deception. Together Dwinn and Lusaar battle raging storms and enemies who will stop at nothing to see them dead. Will their against-the-odds attempts to reach their goals end in disaster, or will Dwinn prove herself to be the true Daughter of the Stone?

A special thanks to my editor, Dave Field; colleague Howard Hopkins who developed the promo blurb; and to writers' group members who have helped DAUGHTER OF THE STONE become a workable story and a series.
