Stone Voice Rising (The Chronicles of Kiva) (Volume 1)

Eleven year old Lilibit is the Infant Stone Voice, a girl who can hear the song of the Earth Stone and channel its powers. She is destined to lead an army of Stone Warriors, warriors who will be able to master the immense powers needed to protect the earth. Thirteen year old Todd leads Lilibit and a band of orphans in the search to find the mysterious Valley of Kiva, but powerful forces are mobilizing, determined to prevent them from reaching their goal, even if it means killing them all. As the minions of the demon Syxx draw closer, Lilibit begins to bestow stones upon her fellow travelers, granting powers that might save them, if the stones don’t destroy them first.
