A BOY WHO YEARNS TO BE A MAN
A MAN WHO YEARNS FOR A SON
AN ANCIENT POWER WHO YEARNS TO BE A GOD
When their worlds collide, it will spell either damnation or salvation for them all. A month from the rite of passage that will mark his transition from boy to man, young Jan is given a task to journey to the nearby village of Miller's Down and settle his father's debt with the blacksmith. But what was supposed to be a simple task quickly turns into a dark and terrifying struggle for survival as Jan learns what it really takes to be a man in a world where death stalks the living wearing the faces of the people they love. The Rune that Binds is the first book in the Sommerstone Chronicles, where the promise of immortality, beauty, and undying pleasures, is very real... if one is willing to pay the price.
