Why would four adolescent boys break into a museum to steal a piece of history? For their resourceful leader Martin, it was the challenge; for reckless Buddy, the adrenalin rush; for diminutive Chester, to prove he was man enough; and for Schuyler the idealist, the money. None of them knew they were working for reclusive publishing magnate Boris Nicolai, the second richest man in Timeless Valley. The item they stole - a baseball slugged for a legendary pennant winning homerun - belonged to philanthropist and long time mayor of Blue Rock, August Goodman, THE richest man in the Valley. On the mysterious Island across Lake Freedom, a mute without a face awaits his destiny along with other like residents of a strange but luxurious holding compound. Meanwhile, a legion of winged mammals known as Gliders - part human, part primate - patrol the region under the command of the Governor. Their ongoing battle against an odd alliance - a grotesque and menacing sea urchin lurking below the waters and Pirates seeking to intercept regular shipments of precious gems - reaches the shores of the mainland. THE WHITE STONE is a mystical allegory about the co-existence of two distinct realms interlocked with each other, a reckoning of fathers and sons, and the value and significance of a man's name.
