On opposite sides of the Seven Kingdoms, Davian, a talented sculptor, and the princess Avelessa weave their separate tales of loss. Avelessa's father, King Perivale, has fallen prey to the evil power of the throne. In a rage he causes the death of her first love, scars her ravishing face, and confines her to her room with only her music as solace. Meanwhile, Davian loses his heart to a fortune-seeking barmaid, thereafter relinquishing all but his art. When the paths of Davian and Avelessa finally cross, they can't imagine what perilous choices are in store for them--or the redemption that will follow. Just as Davian brings life to his sculpted stone, Williams brings life to these unforgettable characters in their enchanting, mythical world.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Another fascinating medieval story by Tom Williams!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bride of Stone: A Novel (Paperback)
This story, a prequel to The Crown of Eden, is set in Williams' seven kingdoms, and is a marvelous addition to the series, which also includes The Devil's Mouth. All of them are mesmerizing novels which you will find difficult to put down. "Just a few more pages," I told myself again and again, "and I'll get up and do those chores that are calling for me." You may find parallels to quandaries you have faced in your life as you read the story of a young sculptor whose bitter experience brings him to shun the beauty and love of any woman, a princess whose royal existence is tragically spoiled, and the ruin of a good man by the multiplied ill effects of an unchecked destructive force within himself. The story is rich with lessons for life, yet not in a way that detracts from the story. This is highly recommended reading - and watch for Tom Williams' upcoming book about C. S. Lewis' Narnia!

This review is from: The Bride of Stone: A Novel (Paperback)
Once again, Thomas Williams has delivered a beautiful story. He explores in a captivating manner the nature of beauty, the purpose of art, and the power of greed to corrupt and of selfless love to heal. I highly recommend it for fantasy lovers in any walk of life.
