THE PEBBLE CHRONICLES  ·  BOOK ONE

A pebble-sized hero. A world-sized quest. The Keystone of Stonehenge

Deep beneath the Preseli Hills, a small blue stone is about to be taken — and no one but two unlikely friends knows what it's really holding back.

Athor, a brave young granite pebble, and Eric, his loyal but nervous thunder-egg companion, set off on a journey across ancient, magical landscapes to stop an earthquake that could bring the standing stones down forever. Guided by wise creatures and older magic than either of them understands, their quest becomes a race against time itself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kate Davies

Author of The Pebble Chronicles

Kate Davies writes stories that find magic in ordinary, overlooked things — a pebble on a lakeshore, an egg-shaped stone, the quiet hills where ancient monuments still stand. The Keystone of Stonehenge, her debut in The Pebble Chronicles, follows Athor and Eric as they cross legendary landscapes to protect Stonehenge itself, and it grew out of Kate's own love of folklore, wild places, and the small, unnoticed things that might be watching over them.

She's drawn to the idea that heroes don't need to be big to matter — sometimes they're barely the size of a pebble, and the bravest thing they do is stay loyal to a friend when things get frightening. When she isn't writing, Kate can usually be found wandering Britain's ancient sites, keeping an eye out for auroras.

“A hero is defined not because of who he is, but of what he does and why.” From the Prologue, The Keystone of Stonehenge

Loved by Readers

A few words from early readers who followed Athor and Eric all the way to Stonehenge.

My daughter asked for "one more chapter" every single night. Athor and Eric feel like real friends by the end — and the Stonehenge setting made it feel wonderfully real too.

R
Rebecca H. Parent & bedtime reader

A genuinely clever premise — using folklore to teach kids why ancient sites matter, without ever feeling like a lesson. Beautifully illustrated, too.

D
Daniel P. Primary school teacher

Eric cracking in half when he's scared had my whole family laughing out loud. Funny, warm, and surprisingly moving by the last chapter.

Athor, a granite pebble

Athor

The Granite Pebble
Brave Bright Daring

Young in pebble terms but sharp-minded and full of valour, Athor is the one who says "let's go" before anyone's finished being scared. Where others hesitate, he leads — eyes sparkling, already halfway into the next adventure.

Eric, a thunder egg

Eric

The Thunder Egg
Loyal Determined Secretly Brave

Tough on the outside, a nervous wreck within — Eric is prone to cracking clean in half when things get frightening. But what he lacks in nerve, he makes up for in heart, showing up for Athor every single time it counts.

“The unconditional and unwavering bond of friendship that has grown over the last two centuries between them.”
