Stone of Legends by Krista Street

When Primelle strives to save her dying uncle by hunting the Wishing Stone, she meets a tantalizing Imperial Warrior along the way, but Kole isn’t who he seems, and his agenda may be her demise.

The fae call it the Wishing Stone—a rare gem that arrives like a shooting star every millennium. The Stone grants its finder one wish. Any wish. No matter what’s asked.
And today, the Wishing Stone has come.
Before I can catch my breath, I’m after the Stone. Due to a mysterious illness my uncle’s contracted, only the Stone’s magic will save him, but thousands of fae will kill to get their wish, making the hunt deadly.
I try to stay safe, but when my luck runs out, an Imperial Warrior saves me from sure demise, and following that, our paths keep crossing.
Kole won’t reveal his reasons for hunting the Stone, but he’s strong, broody, and his elusive smile is positively addictive.
We soon join forces, but when the true reason for Kole’s presence arises, I learn that not just my uncle needs saving because my very soul and the heart of my kingdom are suddenly on the line.
