Bane in the Stone: Return of the Gryphons 1

Previously published as Menaced by Magic

A dead duke. A reluctant imposter. And legendary stone gryphons rising from centuries of slumbers no-one knew they were sleeping.

Mark just wanted to find peace. But when he wakes in a strange world – and is mistaken for the missing heir to a magical dukedom – peace isn’t what he gets.

Dragged into a web of court intrigue and rebellion, Mark agrees to impersonate the dead duke’s son to prevent panic. There’s only one problem: the mythical gryphons are waking, and someone is commanding them. But it isn’t him and he doesn’t possess magic.

As cities burn and loyalties crumble, Mark must rely on battle-forged instincts to stop a war he never asked for – against enemies he doesn’t understand, with magic he doesn’t possess. Survival might mean him pretending to be the very kind of hero he isn’t – but he might just become.

Bane in the Stone launches a complete four-book epic of political betrayal, family in-fighting, reluctant leadership, and ancient powers resurfacing. Perfect for fans of military heroes caught in magical wars.
