When Aadi, a young man, searches for two people who are precious to him, his efforts land him in an unexpected place with an unrelenting foe, whose blows shatter the earth and rend boulders asunder. Their conflict sparks a partnership for the ages and spurs Aadi on an adventure that he wouldn’t have imagined possible.

In Ember Tell, we follow the story of a boy who sets out from his home in search of his loved ones. Along the way, he stumbles into a place that houses an unrelenting foe, whose blows shatter the earth and rend boulders asunder. Their conflict results in an unexpected meeting with a stone, of all things, and this sparks a partnership for the ages. The boy is spurred on adventures that he hadn’t imagined possible and his bildungsroman is a lesson in its own right.

This is the Early Promotional Release (EPR) of Ember Tell, the first book in The Stone Preceptor series. Being an EPR, this book contains approximately the first forty thousand words only and is released as Volume 0.1. The purpose of an EPR is to generate goodwill and hopefully, a supportive revenue stream that facilitates the completion of a work. Ember Tell – EPR has been rolled out with such a hope.

The complete story will be published later on as Volume 1.0 in The Stone Preceptor series, with the title – Ember Tell.
