Ian Troy is a Shinree addicted to magic. He stumbles across an instrument of immense power and pays for it dearly, though it was done with the best of intentions. He trades addictions from magic to debauchery and travels alone through the land until he is forced by an enemy to return to magic to save his land. I liked this! There was solid world building skill and the book moved fast. I will keep my eye on this author.

L. Schneider – Review by Christin Ford
All he wanted was to end the war. Fate had other plans.
Ian Troy is one of the Shinree, a fallen race born with an addiction to magic. Enslaved and drugged to suppress their deadly desires, the Shinree live to serve their masters. After years of forced combat in Rella’s long, brutal war, Ian is desperate for peace. With defeat imminent, he defies orders and wields the Crown of Stones, an ancient relic of untold power. Ignorant of the artifact’s true nature, he ends the war, but pays a terrible price. A decade later, Ian is still running from the blood in his veins and on his hands. Curbing his cravings with wine and regret, he struggles to forget. But when a fateful encounter with a pretty assassin brings him down that dark path again, Ian’s addiction is awakened–and denial is no longer an option. With the realm he gave up everything to protect once more in jeopardy, Ian becomes embroiled in a violent race for control of the Crown of Stones. As the deceptions unfold, his path becomes clear: to save the realms, Ian must embrace the one thing he fears most: his own power. Magic-Price is the award-winning first installment in The Crown of Stones trilogy.

I like the covers on all the books in the series but this feels a little different , like the magic is possessing Ian and after reading , even more so 💥
This is the end of the trilogy and be sure to have read the other books otherwise you’ll feel totally lost , I’ll be honest I was exhausted as I binge read but that in no way reflects on the book ❣️📚 what I would recommend is take a breather in between each one that way you will take more in and do the series justice 🥰
The fate of an entire race lays at Ian’s feet and sacrifices have to be made and again it seems like it all falls on Ian . Everything comes together and there’s action , love , drama and quite a bit of action , so a few boxes have been ticked 😉

Again , just loving the cover art !
To me , it feels like Ian is seen as the saviour of the Shinree but at what cost ? He’s been beaten , tortured and broken , his people are free but still enslaved and oppressed and , people from all across are hungry for freedom and they’re looking to Ian , hoping he’s the one that’ll lead them but he’s needing to heal himself ….
What is his connection with The Crown of Stones ?
A sequel can either be better than the first book or it can go the other way and disappoint you , this did neither, that’s not a bad thing though , it keeps your interest , it makes you wonder and question and there was a little more spice this time round 😉

The second in the series. Another great fantasy story. Again, nonstop action and intense moments. You can’t help but to feel horrible for all Ian has gone through. This is definitely a series I would suggest reading in order. If you enjoy fast paced books, this one is for you! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

In this final tale of The Crown of Stones series, we are excited to find out what the fate of Ian Troy will be. The rebellion has been destroyed, and so many have passed due to the violence. Mirra’kelan is now under new rule with another self-appointed emperor, the people are even more fearful for their lives. Ian Troy will have to come out of hiding to help save his friends and family. Will he be able to continue to utilize his magic and not fully give over to the beast inside of him or will he be able to hold onto his humanity? Will Ian’s premonitions come to pass, or will his trip to the ancient past bring about peace and serenity for his people? This book series just continues to grow in suspense and the thrill of watching Ian Troy strive to undo everything he had brought to pass from his first run-in with the Crown of Stones. This book has amazing characters that you will be so in-depth that you may lose yourself in the pages as you ride along this exciting journey of war, love, and the drive to never give up. @Brandy Rymer 04/2023

Ian Troy is back in this second installment of The Crown of Stones series, Magic-Scars. I was so excited to jump right into this book to follow the fate that Ian had befallen after his tragic mistakes had come about from wishing with the Crown of Stones. Now that Ian’s finally freed from his captivity he enters a world full of people being unsettled and fearful for their lives. Ian’s old enemy Draken of Langor has taken control of Mirra’kelan and is a terrifying king who rules with an iron fist. Ian finds himself amongst a group of rebels who are seeking a way out of their situation. As Ian tries to find and put back together the Crown of Stones, he is faced with odd marks appearing across his skin, that continue to multiply in number as his search continues. What is the meaning of these magical scars that are appearing, do they have anything to do with the Crown of Stones? Will he be able to help the group of rebels to find their freedom, and regain his use of magic without overloading his addictions? You will not want to set this book down as you follow Ian Troy’s latest adventure. @Brandy Rymer 04/2023

Schneider – Review by Brandy Rymer
C. L. Scheider outdid herself in this magical book of perseverance and tough life decisions. It definitely reminds the reader to think before you act. There are consequences to every wish we make in life. I love that this story takes us through Ian Troy’s life, showing us where he is before he found the Crown of Stones and how he feels about being a magic user. Then allows us to see the consequences his wish has caused to himself and everyone. Fast forward ten years later, when all Ian wants to do is forget that he’s ever been a magic user, causing his mind to remain in a fog with his drinking habits, when everything he had been running from has caught up to him. What will Ian do, will he go back to his old ways and use his magical abilities or will he remain constantly on the run? Read this first book to find out…I am so excited to start book #2! @Brandy Rymer 4/2023

This is the last installment of The Crown of Stones series and it doesn’t disappoint. Ian is trying to learn how to balance things and there is not a lack of excitement in this book. The author has such a way of pulling you in in the very first moments of the book and keep you drawn in until the very last word.

This book continues the journey with Ian. There is a perfect blend of magic, mystery, and action in this book. You get lost in the journey with Ian and feel like you are right there with them. You will not be disappointed with this book.

Schneider – Review by Heather Goodman
So, this last one got me itching to know who in the world can do this to Troy. But Troy wants to save those whom he cares for but the new High King is not allowing him to do this instead making everything hard for him, Troy was left out and now he had to go back in time to seek help and wisdom. The author did an amazing job. I had to read all 3 series to see and understand the whole story.
Amazing story by C.L. Schneider, when I first saw this book, I was not quite sure if this fit in my likes but a couple of chapters took me to a whole new level. Troy is an amazing character but so much in his hands after he took The Crown of Stones in his hands. Like they always told me be careful about what you wish for, in this case, he was not careful and the past to the present and the future realms are coming after him. Troy was not wise enough to stay away but now he sees what he wants and it is to use the power to save the realms. To continue to the 2nd book…
2ND BOOK, I can’t believe this happened to Troy. I was shocked that they took his power and even his memory. When I read that Troy will do anything to be the one person he was, but time is getting harder for him because all the people he cared for are suffering and his old enemy Draken became the High King. Towards the middle, Troy realizes that he has more scars on his body, and when he started seeking answers it leads to more secrets and more truth to his inheritance.
Fate, fantasy, finale What an adventure this trilogy has been. This book brings Ian’s journey to an end in a magnificent way. The characterisation, world building and epic battles were brilliantly executed and the emotions raw. This book brings answers that have been sought from the start and some heartbreak. Highly recommend the whole series from start to finish.

These books have all been great from start to finish. Don’t get deterred from seeing how many chapters there are because you will be disappointed once there are no more pages to read, you won’t want to the story to end. So in this third and final installment we have losses and victories. His father wants to rule over all as the newly self-appointed Emperor. While he tries to find out the secrets of his people, the Shinree, he continues to add scars to his body every time he uses his magic. In the end he finds that in order to defeat his father he must destroy the Crown of Stones. But what will it cost? I didn’t want to see this series come to and end, but I was NOT disappointed. I was happy to have been put onto this series and I will definitely be re-reading them when I am in need of some entertaining reading. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

The third book in an epic fantasy series. Just like the first two, I didn’t want to put this book down. The world, the characters, the action, everything was very well written. Rarely does a sequel live up to the first book, but both the second and the third not only did that, but surpassed it. The only complaint I had was that it ended.

This is the final book in Ian Troy’s journey. You definitely have to read the first 2 books to know what is happening.
The story is action-packed and deals with a lot of heavy topics. The writing was well done and there were times of laughter but also ones that made my heart hurt.
I’m not sure the conclusion was what I wanted, but it left me curious what the author will be doing next in this world!

Schneider – Review by Katrina Evanochko
Magic Borne by C.L. Schneider is the third and final book of the Crown of Stones trilogy. We once again join Ian Troy: Shinree, solider, revolutionary as he tries to stop the new self-proclaimed emperor from his evil plans and steer events away from foreseen tragedy. Once again we are taken on a journey through this complex world with costly magic and complex characters but this time we get far more history! The character development found in the books is nothing short of magnificent. The story remains compelling but dark. It is a fitting ending to a journey that, in the midst of book one, I wasn’t sure would be worth the ride.

Schneider – Review by Whisper Hymer
Magic Scars is the second book in the Crown of Stones trilogy by C.L. Schneider. This book starts two and half years after the ending of the first book. We pick up with Ian Troy once more as he is freed from the terrible prison in Darkthorne. Having been under a drug which takes memory, self, and will away – Ian struggles to find his new self in the fray. Friends are scattered, enemies are everywhere, and Ian is now at the center of a rebellion. This book was easier for me to get into than the first. A good pick for fans of dark fantasy but definitely needs to be read in order.

Schneider – Review by Whisper Hymer
Can you change a vision or is his fate already sealed? Ian Troy has lost so much and fought so hard for so many, but it seems, no matter what he does, fate has other ideas. This fight just keeps getting bigger. All of Mirra’kelan will have to unite if they have any chance of thwarting the new self-appointed emperor. (This is so hard to talk about without giving away spoilers, so I’m going to stop there and tell you to read it and explore this series for yourself.)
This is an amazing, fast-paced, action-packed read. There are so many amazing plot twists that some will definitely take you by surprise and keep you guessing. C.L. Schneider’s writing style is so descriptive and imaginative that you feel as if you’re transported into the book. And her characters, can I just say wow, especially Ian Troy, he’s so complex, detailed, and imaginative. Along with good verses evil, this book mixes in lore, history, magic, and other fantasy aspects that are woven so incredibly well together. This was the first series I’d ever read by C.L. Schneider, but I know it won’t be my last. If you love fantasy, great characters, and a whole lot of action, then you really need to check out this series. I’m honestly sad this is the third and last book in the series.

Magic-Scars the second great installment in The Crown of Stones series. Beginning a few years after the first book ends and picking up after all Ian had been through in book one, having everything taken from him, I just couldn’t tear myself away from this book. I’m certainly looking forward to book number three.

Schneider – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz
Incredible, satisfying ending to a great series that I am very glad I picked up. C.L. Schneider has become a top author for me and I love that she is an independent author. She never fails to pull me into a book, sink her claws in, and have me on a wild, crazy ride to the finish. I’ve really enjoyed this series and I will absolutely keep reading more books by her. If you enjoy fantasy, smooth writing, great world building, great, strong, well fleshed out characters, and well built magic systems you should definitely give this series a try!

Schneider – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz
The Crown of Stones: Magic- Scars is the second book in the dark fantasy series by C.L. Schneider. I suggest you read this series in order as there is a lot of information, developments, and backstory in each book.
Much like the first book, this second installment is also written from the first person point of view, allowing us to see what all Ian Troy, our main character, experiences as he tries to piece together his memories and acclimate to the new world he finds himself in after leaving capture. In book one he distanced himself from everyone, fearing his magic, but now he must retrieve it and harness it to help the resistance and beat his enemy. Can he overcome his fears, addictive tendencies, and stop blaming himself long enough to accomplish all he needs to? This action-packed book is definitely one that will keep your attention and keep you wanting more. I’m really enjoying this series and can’t wait to read the next installment.

Schneider – Review by Amanda Glaspie
Once again this author has put together an exciting and riveting book. The next book follows Ian Troy who was presumed to be dead but is alive and well and fighting to beat Draken and his father Jem. There wasn’t a moment that didn’t keep my attention with the constant twists. Old and new characters come together to save the kingdom and ultimately retrieve the crown of stones. This will leave you on the edge your seat laughing, crying, and everything in between.

Schneider – Review by Amanda Glaspie
Can you ever outrun your past? Will the things you’ve seen and done haunt you for the rest of your life along with her memory? These are all things our main character, Ian Troy, is pondering as he tries to live some semblance of life. He is a Shinree, a race who can use magic, which can become addictive and dangerous, since magic always comes with a price. That’s why he shies away from pretty much everyone thinking he’s protecting them from him and the magic inside of him.
C.L. Schneider has written a gritty, descriptive, and action-filled book. I really liked the first person point of view as it helped me connect with the character and see life through new eyes.

Schneider – Review by Donya Pedigo
Magic-Borne is the third and final book in The Crown of Stones trilogy. Ian Troy is fighting to fix the glimpse into the tragic future that he foresaw five years ahead. As events start playing out like he was foretold he doesn’t know if his presence will be enough to change it. Is his future set-in stone? Will he be enough to stop his father and finally destroy the crown of stones?
This book is even darker than the previous two due to the intensity of the story. The twist and turns had me devouring this book. I loved this epic trilogy and highly recommend it.

Schneider – Review by Callie Luna
Magic-Scars is the second in the trilogy of The Crown of Stones series. Starting two and a half years after Magic-Price ends. Ian Troy gets rescued from his prison, the mines, and has no memory due to the drugs that Draken has been forcing. He has been tortured and forced to do heinous acts for the past two years. As he slowly gets his terrible memories back bit by bit, he must forgive himself again for the death and loss of those around him. He doesn’t know whom to trust or how he acted before and is solely going by instinct. Join Ian on his journey to rediscover his past and to right the present.
This book is meant only for adults due to the sex scenes and graphic nature of it, they are done extremely well. I loved this book even more than the first book due to feeling a great connection to Troy from the loss of his memories. He keeps trying to do what he believes is right and protect those around him while trying to break the mold he was shoved in. I was shocked towards the end of the book when I believed all hope was lost, I was crushed and cried only to be saved a little towards the end. I can’t wait to read the last book in the series Magic-Borne.
