Windcatcher: Book I of the Stone War Chronicles

Far away from home, under the command of his brother, Raylan and his squad must retrieve an ancient relic stolen from their kingdom's trading partner--the Tiankong Empire.

Traveling deep into unknown enemy territory to complete their mission, Raylan learns that the ancient relic holds unexpected life; a creature buried in legends, one not seen in their world for more than two hundred years.

With their enemies closing in, Raylan and his friends search, desperately, for a safe way home. Danger lurks around every corner: Warriors larger than any man, predators stalking them through the night and soldiers determined to hunt them down. Leaving them all little choice, except to keep moving as they plot--and fight--their way back to those awaiting their return.
