The Standing Stone series is set in the magic Lands of An Faire and follows the adventures of Jahl Pratter and his two friends, Donya and Rouen, as he learns how to wield essence and fulfill the role his uncle, High Master Tran Donnel, trained him for. Fantasy, magic, light romance and adventure.

Jahl Pratter: During his infancy, the Wielder Wane epidemic struck, killing much of the population of wielders in Chussan Faire. Upon his birth, the illness struck him, but his uncle, the last most powerful wielder in his family, halted the damage, and he was left with a painfully twisted leg.

Donya Marson: A local non-magical citizen of Chussan Faire. She is Rouen Marson's sister. Donya and Jahl start out as enemies in this series, but times change when help is limited.

Rouen Marson: Rouen was once Jahl's best friend. Trouble in his family business motivates him to seek Jahl's aid.

Within the cities of An Faire along the An Mountain range, wielders practice magic using a tile of stone large enough for a person to stand on. The stone provides the essence necessary to support spells, which can be used for a variety of practical needs.

A plague occurred sixteen years ago and killed all but a few magic wielders in the town of Chussan Faire. No native wielders practice spells anymore as it is believed that will reignite the plague. The surviving half of the human population are non-magical and have adapted to the loss of practical magic. Businesses have filled the occupations left behind by the decimated wielder clans.

Wielders come of age at sixteen years old and may work as wielders, making their living from their magic. Each wielder must carry his own standing stone, either clan-owned or rented from the local mercantile.

Another adventure for Jahl, Donya, and Rouen as they head for Carolan Faire to aid the apprentice of the recently deceased Master Wielder of the city.

Jahl Pratter: As the recognized wielder of Clan Donnal, he has been called in to fulfill the duties of the head of the wielder clans. He's never been to Carolan Faire.

Donya Marson: She convinces Rouen and Jahl she is indispensable to the success of their journey.

Rouen Marson: Rouen agrees to accompany Jahl to Carolan Faire. What could possibly go wrong?
