The saga of Ian Troy continues in Magic-Scars, the second installment in C. L. Schneider’s riveting epic fantasy trilogy, The Crown of Stones.

In the wake of his fall, those he cares for suffered their own grim fates, leaving friends endangered and scattered.

His one task: recover and repair the Crown of Stones, in hopes it will tip the balance in their brewing revolution.

As Ian strives to regain what was lost, the magic-scars streaking his body multiply faster. Searching for a cause and the truth behind his link to the Crown of Stones leads him to uncover shocking secrets buried for generations beneath the sand. To become the weapon the resistance needs, Ian must claim his magical inheritance. But can he curb the destructive appetite that comes with it?
