The gods are dead, leaving only parts of themselves around the world of Aelis. A select few—the "Chosen"—are granted magickal abilities and great curses to those who would accept their power. The Chosen have been only whispers and legends until now. 
 A year after Leanah's village Vamori had burned to the ground, Luca, a young and playful adventurer, vows to avenge the death of his friend and lover by killing the wielder of the powerful Sword of Stone. When he is joined by two more "Chosen"—a powerful young boy and a mysterious old mage—the three discover that Leanah's plan could throw the world of Aelis into chaos and endanger the lives of every magickal being on the planet. 
 Shapes of Clay is Book Two of the Shattering Series, a new twist on the sword-and-sorcery fantasy you know and love.
