Now, only two free tribes remain.</p><p>The Empire is not their only enemy. Monstrous, scaled predators lurk in rivers and streams, with a deadly music of their own.</p><p>As battle looms, fighters on both sides must decide how far they will go for their beliefs and for the ones they love - a veteran general seeks peace through war, a warrior and a shaman set out to understand their enemies, and an ambitious noble tries to bend ancient magic to her will.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'THE STONE KNIFE has everything you'd hope for in a Stephens novel: sharp action, cracking pace, and a brutal disregard for our poor feelings.
