title: The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price
author:  C. L. Schneider 
description: &quot;For a rollicking, unpretentious good adventure, The Crown of Stones: Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider has few rivals...the perfect blend of fantasy and adventure, a tale of magic, bravery, and war.&quot; <i>- Reader&apos;s Favorite</i><br /><br />This book is one of the most original fantasy novels that I have ever read. Schneider is a wizard with her words.&quot; <i>- Peachy Keen Reviews</i><br /><br />The characters are beautifully flawed and realized. The story is a fine addition to any collection...a very bright star that is well worth notice.&quot; <i>- Red Star Reviews</i><br /><br />&quot;Magic-Price is a fantastic read... If you like dark fantasy with a twist and want to support a truly talented independent author, then do yourself a favor and pick up Magic-Price.&quot; <i>- Stephen Rhodes, Fantasy Faction</i>
