Read by Joshua Story

Connor cannot save everyone he loves, but how can he choose who will die? In Obrion, commoners cursed with magic must obtain patronage from a high lord prior to their sixteenth birthday, or face execution. Connor turns sixteen tomorrow. Should be a simple process. But then armies start clashing around his small town, led by superhuman Petralists, devilish Builders, and layers of deadly intrigue that twist his loyalties into knots. If he stays, he dies. If he leaves, people he loves will die. Some birthdays are like that. Set in Stone launches Connor and his friends into an epic adventure filled with relentless humor, unique magic, and enough twists and turns to braid bacon into a noose
