Synopsis
Evil has a new home—and it’s a place called New Vineland.
The town appeared almost overnight, as if summoned from the shadows, complete with a looming stone tower at its heart and a general store that promises to fulfill your deepest desires... for the price of your soul.
Drawn by a witch’s secret summons, the curious and the desperate are flocking to New Vineland, unaware of the doom that awaits them. But the witch didn’t count on Harold Goodman—an adventurous young Englishman with an unshakable moral compass and a burning desire to uncover the truth behind the tower's dark power.
Joined by an enigmatic stonemason, a salty old sailor with more wisdom than he lets on, a haunted warhorse with a hero’s heart, and a gifted young girl just awakening to her magic, Harold sets out to challenge the evil that fuels New Vineland.
The battle for the town—and the souls within it—is about to begin.
In this dark and historical fantasy, Harold’s journey becomes a tale of sorcery and witch magic, where the line between good and evil is blurred. With themes of mystery, sacrifice, and determination, Servants of Stone weaves a captivating story of war and adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Unravel the secrets of a town steeped in ancient magic, and follow Harold and his companions as they fight to reclaim the future of their world. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy and witchcraft thrillers.
