Bound by Slate and Stone

The ancient oak, heart of Cill Dara, is dying, weeping black sap as a mysterious Blight consumes it. Druid Aisling, desperate to save her village, pushes her Ogham magic into the earth, only to be violently thrown into a vision of vast underground foundries drilling into the world's living magic, awakening something ancient and terrifying. Defying her council, Aisling embarks on a perilous journey to the northern peaks, seeking the primordial fire of the last Earth Dragon—the only power capable of cleansing the Blight. But with Iron Monarchy patrols and a mountain that seems to actively resist her, Aisling finds herself literally hanging by a thread, face to face with the very creature she seeks, as the world around her turns to stone. Can she convince a legendary beast to save a world that's already crumbling, or will her desperate quest only hasten its demise?
