Praise for Reiffen’s Choice, Book One of the Stoneways Trilogy:

"In his smoothly written debut novel, Reiffen’s Choice, S. C. Butler launches a high fantasy trilogy that will appeal to readers from 10 to 110. Butler has created an imaginative, well-wrought world that is very much his own, from its unusual origins and its egalitarian town of Valing to the submerged home of the seal-like nokken and the strange underworld of the Dwarves. Readers will marvel upon arriving at the bottom of the world, where water falls off the edges in beautiful Veils, and the Dwarves’ underground city of Issinlough hangs, upside down, over the black Abyss.”
—Sci Fi Weekly

“Reiffen’s Choice and its sequels have great potential to be in the ranks of some of the best fantasy books ever.”
—Flammingnet

“The wonders of Issinlough are particularly well imagined, and the characters mesh well together as the action builds to a page-turning crescendo. With a little patience, readers who like Terry Brooks or Angie Sage will be more than content to see this story to its end and await its companions with anticipation. Readers should look forward to following Butler’s development as an author.”
