The Sea-Stone Sword is a YA fantasy novel by Joel Cornah that begins when our intrepid hero is thirteen and ends by the time he's sixteen.
It starts off just as Rob Sardan is sent away from his adopted homeland, banished for daring to stick up for someone who was being oppressed. Rob wants to be a hero, someone who has adventures all over the world, and become a hero of hope and justice. He hopes the legendary sea-stone sword, a weapon of immense power will help him do that, but at the moment he's willing to settle things with his fists. As his quest continues, he manages to make a few friends and even falls in love, but he also experiences betrayal and treachery. As he struggles to discover what it means to be a hero, he is also in danger of discovering what it means to be a villain.
In this interesting debut by Joel Cornah, The Sea-Stone Sword is filled with tons of capable female characters and interesting moral and philosophical questions. Rob himself is a unique character and one I had yet to encounter in fantasy. Many of the other characters are interesting as well and each has their own unique view about what it means to be a hero. It is filled with tons of action and there is never a dull moment. If anyone is looking for something a little different in their fantasy, The Sea-Stone Sword is it!
