Survival demands strength. But what happens when reality turns to stone cold terror?
For readers craving a bleak, character-focused dark fantasy that explores the devastating weight of guilt and psychological torment in the vein of The Darkness That Comes Before, combined with the profound psychological toll and guilt-driven adventure of Aching God.--
The village wanted them gone. His past won't let him go.
Banished to the terrifying, mist-choked Wildlands, Lawson and his companions fight a brutal war for survival, their parallel journey shadowed by the events of The Great Leap. Lawson is consumed by guilt for a fatal mistake-a shame that shatters his grasp on reality.
As his mind unravels, he is plagued by chilling visions of a grotesque stalker with too many teeth, a predator that follows every step, yet only he can see. Is Lawson succumbing to his family's history of mental illness, or is the Wildlands using his own mind against him?
Battling the cruel forest and the terrifying possibility of his own unravelling, Lawson must distinguish between inner demons and tangible terrors if they ever want to get out of this place alive.

Stone Cold Blood is a gripping dark fantasy tale of guilt, psychological torment, and the desperate fight to maintain sanity. The second book in the Children of Inauron quadrilogy, it explores the crushing weight of past mistakes and the terrifying power of the mind in a world where the unimaginable becomes real.
Praise for Stone Cold Blood:★★★★★ Stone Cold Blood transcends survival and explores the cost of that survival. Its a gripping, atmospheric dark fantasy that pulls you in from the very first chapter and refuses to let go.
★★★★★ The mysterious storyline of the second group of teens was so interesting, and the trauma they experienced was brought to life the more I read.
★★★★★ The way they are able to turn their struggles into strengths is not only a great way to take the story, but also very inspiring for the reader.
