Summary "The Stone Key is the long-awaited fifth book in The Obernewtyn Chronicles. It is the end of wintertime, and when the Farseeker Guildmistress, Elspeth Gordie sets out from Obernewtyn to return the crippled gypsy Darius to his people, she is aware that this is the first time she can openly name herself a Misfit and use her abilities. But when Elspeth calls into the town of Saithwold to find out why a beastspeaker is writing strange letters to his son, she finds that not everyone welcomes the changes brought about by the overthrow of the oppressive Council. Captured by an old and vicious enemy, she is catapulted into the strangest journey she has ever undertaken. It leads her deep into the heart of the Herder Faction, where she learns of a terrible plot by her nemesis, the Defective coercer Ariel. Desperate to stop Ariel, Elspeth must risk everything, knowing that if she dies, she will never complete her quest as the Seeker, and find and destroy the weapon machines that destroyed the Beforetime. But as so often in her life, Elspeth finds that her quest is woven into all of her deeds, for this journey at last, will lead her to the final sign left for her by the seer Kasanda."--Provided by publisher.
