Quest for The Blessing Stone!

Enter this contest for a chance to win one (1) of five (5) fabulous Blessing Stone Pendants!

"...It came into being in a cataclysmic explosion of stellar proportions that sent cosmic fragments plunging across the gulf of space. Like a shining ship the searing hot chunk of star-mass sailed across the sidereal sea, roaring and hissing through the dark night as it hurtled towards its inevitable destruction on a young, savage planet."

The story of the stone is the story of humanity. The story of a legendary and mythical object that changes the lives and shapes the destinies of all who come into contact with it.

To mark the publication of The Blessing Stone, Barbara Wood's groundbreaking new novel, Ms. Wood commissioned the design and creation of several breathtaking and mystical Blessing Stone pendants. Five (5) of these hand-crafted pendants, will be given to those five (5) readers of The Blessing Stone that destiny has selected. Are you possibly one of the five? Read on for more details . . .
