Steel and Stone Kate Haley

Steel & Stone is the first title in The War of the North Saga: a young adult epic fantasy adventure of gods and monsters.

Ten years. Thousands dead. No memories.

The amnesia was supposed to be a good thing. Other soldiers bask in its freedom. Except for Elvac it doesn't feel right. When he returns from his first year at war he can't shake the niggling sensation that something is missing. His life has been turned upside down, yet he can't remember being gone. The only proof of his time away are the scars, and the haunting dreams of fire.

With the help of his friends, Elvac begins to regain his lost memories, and with them uncover the truth of his missing year, and what the Church of Sunne is really doing with their War of the North.

The series follows Elvac and his friends on a quest that will change their lives and their world forever, tackling issues like love and loss; family and forgiveness; and the trauma and tragedy of war. The War of the North Saga is strongly character-driven, with a balance of fast-paced action, and more nuanced character development.

Steel & Stone is for fans of traditional high-fantasy who are looking for a modern and diverse twist on the old classics with a LGBTQIA] flare.
