Book one of the Shattered Time series, The Sound of the Stones-"Author Beth Hammond has done an absolutely fantastic job in creating characters that her readers will relate to, connect with, and continue to think about long after the story is done. Her world creation abilities are second to none, and readers will feel as if they are absolutely a part of the story as they are reading." (5 stars! Chris Fischer, Readers' Favorite) Beth Hammond's debut, The Sound of the Stones, delivers a story within a story. Modern times, and the ancient past intersect as the story unfolds. When Frankie stumbles onto a mysterious book, her world changes forever as she begins to read about Ashra, a girl from the distant past. Hammond has created a world that evokes elements made famous by the 80's classics such as The Never Ending Story, The Dark Crystal, and Legend. The tale continues in book two, The Rise of Fire, and concludes with Breaking the Bind. Frankie and Ashra are separated by millennia, by fiction and reality, but in the end the barrier shatters.
