In the world of Allwyn, humans are almost extinct. A war amongst the gods, mirrored by their progeny led to the downfall of humanity and the banishment of their god. Now a thousand years later the remaining humans eek out an existence on the fringes of the vast empire of the dwarves, who have been tasked by their god to oversee them. In one such settlement, known as the Cradle of the Gods, a young human named Ghile prepares for his upcoming manhood test and his first Rite of Attrition. The rite used by the dwarves to seek out those humans who show signs of being potential vessels for an insane god’s return. The same rite that claimed the life of Ghile’s older brother. Gaidel, a young human druid, returns home to the Cradle. With her she brings her new shieldwarden, Two Elks, a barbarian of the Nordlah plains, where humans battle against the yoke of the dwarves. Finngyr, a dwarven knight justice, known to humans as Cullers, journeys to the Cradle to kill those humans who fail the Rite. Almoriz, the sorcerer, and his over confident apprentice, Riff, arrive in Ghile’s village for what seems to be just another of their annual visits. But their arrival triggers a series of events that thrust Ghile into a prophecy that will mark him as stonechosen and unlock in him powers of the gods themselves. But Ghile is not alone. Others chosen to fulfill the prophecy travel to the Cradle to seek out the new stonechosen and destroy him. The time of the stonechosen has come. This fantastical new adventure marks the first volume of the Soulstone Prophecy and the first novel by Thomas Quinn Miller.
