In the distant past, a city of wizards was menaced by horrible Night Mares. The wizards carved hideous gargoyles out of stone, bringing them to life using the magical Heart of Rock, to defend their city.
Now the Heart of Rock is needed to save another kingdom, and one brave cobbler must find it.
But the gargoyles cannot live without their talisman; will the cobbler’s quest to save his kingdom doom theirs?
“Heart of Rock” is three interconnected short stories that look at the question: when one questing hero finds a magical amulet, what happens to those who’ve lost it?
