About Lodestone
Review "If you are a fan of dark fantasy, morally grey characters with room to grow, and fascinating, original magic systems, don't miss it! The magic system in LODESTONE was unlike anything I personally have read before. Overall, I devoured this book." - M.J. Kuhn, Author of AMONG THIEVES"Fans of dark fantasy and romance, haunted castles and grotesque monsters will find much to love in Lodestone! For me, Lodestone's original and complex magic system shone brightest. The book is gritty and moody, with a dash of mystery and Beauty and the Beast vibes with a driven and free-willed heroine." - H.M. Long, Author of HALL OF SMOKE"Forrister's world building reminded me a lot of Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series, and her complex characters drew me in, the same way Tamora Pierce's characters have always been easy to connect with." - K.T. Egan, Author of ALL YOU HOLD ON TO"Between the setting, the protagonist, and the magic, I'm not sure which is my favorite because they were all done so well." - Gabrielle Ash, Author of THE FAMILY CROSS"Forrister debuts with an impressive fantasy that leaves the reader both satisfied and wanting more. For fans of dark and sometimes-quiet fantasies, this is an immersive read that ultimately brings hope." - Cari Dubiel, Author of HOW TO REMEMBER Product Description Lodestone-peddler Melaine is desperate to stop hustling her raw magic for a tuppence. Her rare gift of infusing her magic into a lodestone to sell for another's use and never keeping any for herself is nothing but a degrading path to an early grave.Yearning for a better life, Melaine turns to her unconventional childhood idol, the powerful but sinister Overlord, sorcerer-ruler of the Centara. When she achieves an audience and arrives at his reclusive retreat of ancient Highstrong Keep, she finds that the compelling, handsome man who conquered a kingdom by the age of twenty is now a weak, shadowed husk, and he needs her lodestones to give him strength. In exchange, he will take her on as his apprentice.Trapped in Highstrong with a half-crazed prisoner, a strict servant, and the Overlord, Melaine learns that they may all be prey to far more malevolent forces than the Overlord's black-magic experiments. Faced with menacing apparitions, ancient curses, and an even greater horror that could threaten the entire kingdom if unleashed, Melaine's penchant for survival is contested by her growing feelings for the Overlord and her path toward finding a deeper meaning to life than the pure power she once craved. From the Author How did you become a speculative fiction author?It's very difficult for me to stop my brain from spinning up daydreams, so I decided that those stories had to go somewhere. I've always loved reading and writing, especially fantasy and science fiction, so I started writing in earnest a few years ago. After dedicating my time to writing several novels, one of them was picked up by a publisher. Now, I have three forthcoming speculative fiction novels, and I don't plan on stopping!
