Healing Stone — Virginia Smith

A dying prince, constrained abed;
A king, with grief he cannot shed;
A crone, with healing stone and dread;
A land rejoices. Death has fled.


In response to an ancient prophecy, an old woman reluctantly agrees to her king's request to heal his son with a magic stone. But will the boy survive his healing, or will history repeat itself?
