Herlot of Alonia

Book One of The Herlot of Alonia Series

Embark on a gripping tale of magic, battle, and love in the first book of this medieval fantasy series.

In the kingdom of Eraska, Herlot of Alonia is born beneath a grove of willow trees—her arrival marked by mysterious bells that defy tradition and stir whispers of omens.

As she matures into a woman, Herlot’s barefoot wanderings and knack for tracking the lost isolate her from the village. But when a devastating event threatens all she cherishes, Herlot must unlock the truth of her gifts—guided by a mystical companion only she can hear and a legacy bound to a forbidden past. Along her path, a shadowed figure bearing his own tangled past emerges, their encounter poised to twist their fates as she grapples with a mind torn between reality and illusion. With a ruthless king’s forces closing in and an ancient prophecy stirring, Herlot’s journey becomes a race against fate itself.

Will Herlot harness her gifts to defy the gathering darkness—or will the secrets of her birth unravel everything she holds dear?

“Beneath the medieval drama, this fantasy skillfully addresses life’s grandest dilemmas. Rosestone’s coming-of-age saga relies on sweeping character arcs and only light touches of magic, not unlike T.H. White’s The Once and Future King (1958).”

Kirkus Reviews
“Herlot of Alonia breathes new life into the meaning of magic, belief, and freedom told through an epic adventure that delivers action- packed moments, a journey of self-discovery for a dazzling heroine, and a heartwarming bond with a unicorn."

Liz Konkel
“Rosestone has crafted a truly enchanting novel that encompasses everything that a traditional fantasy tale ought to have but also expands into so much more of an emotive coming of age tale... [An] inspiring and engaging tale that is pure magic on every page. Overall, I'd highly recommend Herlot of Alonia for fantasy fans everywhere."

K.C. Finn
"Herlot of Alonia is without a doubt a classic tale reminiscent of the wondrous adventures of The Lord of the Rings. Steeped in the small kingdom of Eraska, we fall under the spell of Herlot, her family, friends, and the magical creatures that surround her, as she grows up in a land where riches are measured by the contents of souls, and gold is taboo to all.”
