HE STRIKES BACK. SHE DARES TO THWART HIM.

Azgard outcast Helen Andros has no choice but to witness her father’s trial and brutal punishment. When he is helpless, the Temple of Kronos marks her for death.

Even so, she battles the Stoneslayer’s handiwork to save her father’s life. Then she flees to her father’s manor in the province he rules to keep safe from warrior-monks hunting her to kill her.

Her otherworldly mentor Maguari teaches her the basics of energy manipulation. The Temple almost succeeds in murdering her, with devastating, deadly results.

Once her stepmother delivers an heir, Helen’s worst fear comes true. The Temple forces her father into an impossible choice that may well leave her exposed and defenseless.

Murder and mayhem. Plots and carnage. Families and fiends. A past-life pattern of separation and loss plays out again in Payback, a compelling third work in the enthralling Stoneslayer high-fantasy series.
