Quest For The Runestone - a short story

An engaging fantasy tale, perfect for a quick read!

Quest For The Runestone is the story of Réann, a young woman that finds she is the chosen one, tasked with keeping villagers safe as the mountains rumble and quake. Once a colorful ancient magic is awakened, she sets off on a journey to learn the secrets of the Runestone.
