A mysterious amulet. A fractured world. A boy caught between what he fears—and what he’s destined to become.

When young Destinian of Kane Stêd receives a cryptic gift from his father, his quiet life unravels into a tangle of prophecy, war, and haunting truths. Sent on a mission through perilous lands and secret realms, Destinian must contend with brutal enemies, seductive magic, and the shadow of a growing power within himself. As kingdoms teeter on the edge of collapse and ancient Watchers stir, he must choose: retreat into solitude—or become the leader others believe him to be.

Accompanied by loyal friends and pursued by haunting visions, Destinian finds an unexpected mentor in Courage, a mythic sky-warrior whose wisdom is etched in wind and memory. But even soaring truths can’t shield him from soul-shaping battles that happen in the unseen places of the world—and within.

Sweeping, lyrical, and deeply human, The Identity Stone is a coming-of-age fantasy of courage, purpose, and the quiet power of a wandering heart that must choose who it will become.

I’m having fun creating character and event/location cards for Book 1. Above is a Sulverwyn Eagle, a mysterious statue, and Hlakkia, who is Destinian’s love. There will be 32 cards in all.
