The Commanding Stone by David Forbes
Gerin, King of Khedesh, has long since accepted the mantle of Amber Wizard--the first in a millennium--with all the terrible responsibility that accompanies it. He has prevented the dread wizard-king, Asankaru, from attaining the all-powerful Words of Making, but the enemy grows stronger by the day.
And now Gerin must be resolute and pursue the secret of the Words at any and all cost. For a new foe has emerged in a furious race toward a magical artifact that can awaken and command monsters long thought dead. And nothing will survive the devastation wrought by dragon fire.
David Forbes lives near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with his wife and two children, a very talkative cat named Pumpkin, and a not-very-bright ferret named Hip-Hop who has yet to realize that you do not poop in room corners. He spends his days as a credit union marketing executive and dons his not-very-secret alternate persona of novelist during whatever little spare time he has left in the evenings, on weekends, vacations, and the occasional holiday. Forbes (this is me writing in the third person. For those of you who've always wondered who writes the author's bios for books, the secret is now out of the bag) is the author of the bestselling epic fantasy series THE OSSERIAN SAGA, published by HarperCollins, as well as the mainstream novel LIFE LINE. He is currently working on a young adult trilogy called THE LOST GARDEN, about a teenage girl named Abbey Howard who finds herself pursued by an immortal empress who believes Abbey is a threat to her immortality. Abbey finds protection in the arms of the new kid in school, hunky and dreamy Caleb Powell. He and his family are secretly witches who protect ordinary people from the very real monsters that go bump in the night. The individual titles of each book are THE SAPPHIRE EYE, THE BLACK FLAME, and THE WHITE ROSE. He's also preparing an urban fantasy novel called THE RUTHLESS DEAD, about a half-angel security consultant who's marked for possession by an ancient Greek vampire.
