Book excerpt: A wizard told him the stone gave life to the dead. Could it be real, or was it merely a legend sought after by fools? Up until that moment, Nardus had no reason to live. A year ago, the love of his life and his three children were murdered in a brutal attack. Even though his flesh still lived, he died with them that fateful day. Now, hope burned within his heart once again. The wizard claimed many had sought the stone, yet none had returned. But Nardus didn't fear death. He would pay any price to resurrect his family, even if it meant facing otherworldly creatures in a magical trial that no man had ever survived. It sounded simple enough, but there was a catch: he loathed magic. So how could he trust this wizard? Out of all the people in Centauria, why did the wizard choose him? Then again, what difference did it make? What more could he possibly lose? Nothing. His name was Nardus, and thus began his quest for the dragon's stone… The Dragon's Stone is the first book in The Dark Heart Chronicles epic fantasy series.
