The Keeper and the Rune Stone by Paige W. Pendleton
The Black Ledge Series
The secrets of the Red Paint People have haunted Maine for 7000 years. From the vast fjords of Norway to the shores of New England, ancient standing stones mark a trail of betrayal, greed, and murder...
The Keeper and the Rune Stone, Book One
An unholy ritual, a ticking clock. Four children discover there are things that go bump in the night ...
Centuries ago a group of Elves committed an unholy ritual. But the ritual was a spectacular failure. It transformed the Elves into the Noctivagi - the beings we know as vampires.
Striving to maintain a fragile peace, the ancient Elves and Dwarves negotiated an Accord, which they've renewed every year on the Summer Solstice. The ceremony depends on the magical Rune Stone, but it's missing. If it is not found—and quickly—the consequences could be dire, and not just for Elves and Dwarves.
Four children, Rob, Jack, Eleanor, and Flora, stumble into a world of magic and mayhem when they move into Black Ledge, the old estate on the Maine coast, and discover they aren’t the only ones who live there.
The cavern narrowed slightly toward the rear. They
didn’t speak. The quietness of the cavern, much like an empty church, made one
want to whisper. The soft light illuminated their way.
At the rear of the cavern, they discovered a
large flat rock with writing carved onto its face.
Rob read the inscription slowly to the others.

Eleanor found her voice first. “What does that mean?”
“Nothing. It just keeps nosy Humans away,”
an amused voice answered.

Mine is a general answer, as opposed to one specific mythical character -- the mythical creature that I love reading about the most is DRAGONS!! Pretty much will jump at anything that says it's about or features a dragon :) (Although, I do confess, I've not read ANY of the Anne McCaffrey Dragonriders of Perm books - isn't that terrible?!?!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the giveaway here! I have an e-copy of this book and hope to get to it soon!
