Shattered Stone

Three teenagers must seek out an ancient prophecy to learn how to stop a war from destroying two kingdoms

Neva and Ivo have grown up in the safety of their forest utopia, surrounded by their animal friends and their teachers, Jartan and Mistress Silvia. But when they turn seventeen, Neva and Ivo begin to grow restless, longing to visit the world outside of the forest. When Ivo rescues Liall, prince of Andor, the two get their wish. The neighboring kingdoms of Andor and Brunn have been locked in a war for centuries, and soon they will destroy each other. Neva, Ivo, and Liall must journey to the shattered stone and read an ancient prophecy that foretells the only way to stop the war.

When they reach the shattered stone, they discover that the prophecy is missing two pieces. The trio must seek answers from far and wide in order to save the kingdoms. But what if the kingdoms don’t want to be saved? Neva, Ivo, and Liall will do whatever it takes to fulfill their destinies and bring peace to their world.

Robert Newman

Born in New York City, Robert Newman (1909–1988) was among the pioneers of early radio and was chief writer for the Inner Sanctum Mysteries and Murder at Midnight—forerunners of The Twilight Zone that remain cult favorites to this day. In 1944 Newman was put in charge of the radio campaign to reelect Franklin D. Roosevelt. He was also one of the founding members of the Radio Writers Guild, which became the Writers Guild of America.

In 1973 Newman began writing books for children, most notably the Andrew Tillet, Sara Wiggins & Inspector Wyatt mysteries. The series takes place in Victorian London and follows the adventures of two teenage amateur detectives who begin as Baker Street Irregulars. Newman has also written books of fantasy, among them Merlin’s Mistake and The Testing of Tertius. His books based on myths and folklore include Grettirthe Strong, and he has published two adult novels.
Newman was married to the writer Dorothy Crayder. Their daughter, Hila Feil, has also published novels for children and young adults. Newman lived his last days in Stonington, Connecticut.
