Original, skillfully crafted, and a fun read from start to finish, Fourteen Stones by author Kris Faatz showcases her exceptional and narrative-driven storytelling talents. Especially recommended to the attention of readers with an interest in action-driven fantasy adventures, Fourteen Stones is a very special and unreservedly recommended pick for community library Historical Fantasy Action/Adventure collections.

Fourteen Stones may be Kris Faatz' first full-length fantasy, but the novel unfolds with astonishing depth and symbolism. I am in awe at the smooth and carefully rendered characters that remind the reader of many Indigenous people's wisdom, their ever-ongoing struggle to make the world hear, and the rare beauty of human emotion drawn with profound artistry. Fourteen Stones is a rare gem, meant for fantasy readers but meaty enough to satisfy the most astute reader of fine fiction.

In Fourteen Stones, author Kris Faatz takes us on a captivating journey through a rich, imaginative world with its own special kind of magic. Young Khari, forced to leave her ancestral home, must lead her tribe of refugees out into a hostile world with only her visions and her inner courage as guideposts. Set in an intricate and immersive realm with deeply developed characters and cultures, Fourteen Stones is full of plot twists you won't see coming. It's unlike any fantasy you've read before!
