Stonewiser: The Call of the Stone picks up where Stonewiser: The Heart of the Stone leaves off with Sariah running for her life. She was banished by The Guild for revealing the truth of the stones, so now she searches for the only truth that can change her own and the world's fate.

Sariah is an exceptionally gifted stonewiser who always seems to find trouble. She's now on a quest to locate the one stone tale that can unite a divided people before a war breaks out.

Kail is a rebel leader, a warrior and a land-healer. He falls in love with Sariah and joins her on her quest. His gifts come in handy as they travel. Along the way they make enemies, form unlikely friendships and dodge assassination attempts and much more. They also come to realize that the lives of the people they meet and their worlds are not that much different than their own.

Machado has created a extraordinary new fantasy series that will grab you hook, line, and sinker. The characters are unique, full of depth and vitality, and you either like them or you hate them. The world she has built is painted so richly, you won't want to miss a word. Your drawn in so deep, you won't want to let go until the final page. A fantasy series that will have you addicted in no time!

Dora Machado's second book in the Stonewiser series is "The Call of the Stone". She brings back Sariah and the detailed fantasy world created in the first book. But there is so much more. Machado write with such energy that you can't help but get lost in this complex world of magic. It makes you think and feel for the characters as they fight their way through many adventures. For the fantasy lover, this series is a must.

This book is even better than the first, which is hard to believe! If you enjoy losing sleep over a book that won't let you put it down, then this is the one to have. Machado has expanded and broken new boundaries in fantasy with this series. A refreshing voice in a genre that has too much of the same thing.

I am not a typical reader of this genre, so I was pleasantly surprised when I read Stonewiser: The Heart of the Stone and could not put it down. Now in Stonewiser: The Call of the Stone, those characters I had come to know enthralled me even more with their depth, their unexpected adventures and imagery which enlivened all of my senses. A very smart and sexy thrill ride!My only agony? Waiting for the third book of this series!
