About this book

With an invading army approaching Torra Alta, an ancient fortress becomes the last barrier protecting the lands to the south. Beneath its walls, Caspar discovers a powerful stone among a dragon’s treasures. His impulsive decision draws him into a search for forgotten runes that could decide the fate of the kingdom.

Jane Welch opens the Runespell Trilogy with castle sieges, perilous tunnels and a young hero learning the cost of magic. A traditional fantasy adventure for readers drawn to quests and threatened kingdoms.
