Recalled

The Adventures of Rhone & Stone, Book 3: A Hopeful Science-Fiction Fantasy Adventure

Recalled by a mysterious signal that can only have come from Jewel, Rhone sets out for the Capital Stronghold. He has barely begun the journey when he’s ambushed-beaten, bound, and once again separated from Stone, his crystalline friend and partner.

His attacker, Lev, turns out to be a former OPR agent, falsely accused and cast out of the agency. What begins as survival becomes an unlikely alliance, as Lev’s story of betrayal reveals cracks within the organization Rhone once trusted without question. When Rhone returns with Lev in tow, Aundrea-his mentor and superior-chooses belief over suspicion, restoring Lev to the fold and placing her at Rhone’s side as he steps into leadership as head of a new department devoted to emerging technology.

Rhone soon learns his recall had another purpose. Could it be that The Brotherhood, a shadowy group thought to belong to history, is hiding another We? The possibility sends Stone searching for signs of his own kind.

When discovery proves elusive, Rhone turns to what he loves most: tinkering. His playful mechanical creations soon redesigned into elegant scouting devices capable of tracking signals no human could trace.

When Lev casually mentions the coast as the site of her last mission, Rhone chooses action over caution. Leaving without notice, he walks straight into the Brotherhood’s trap. Injured, imprisoned, and fighting to survive, Rhone uses every skill he has to escape-only to find himself wandering the Brotherhood’s towering cliff-side citadel in search of a way out.

Salvation comes not through strength alone, but through loyalty, ingenuity, and friends who refuse to let him fall: Lev, willing to sacrifice everything for the young man she has come to see as family; Bella at the helm of her airship, The Lady Luna; and Aundrea, standing firm in love and conviction for her youngest agent.

Recalled is a hopeful science-fiction fantasy adventure featuring airships, mindful alien intelligences, steampunk-inspired technology, and found family. It celebrates second chances, trust, and the enduring bond between a man and his crystalline companion.

Perfect for fans of action-adventure sci-fi, character-driven fantasy, alien-intelligence companions, and heroes who never truly fly alone.
