Nope, 'Hagstone' flies solo, which is a shame because its eerie island setting feels like the first chapter of something epic. It’s got that slow-burn tension that could easily stretch into a trilogy. For now, though, it’s a one-and-done—but what a ride. The ending lingers, leaving you with questions that’re fun to debate but might never get answers. Perfect for book clubs, honestly.
I devoured 'Hagstone' in one sitting, and while it’s technically a standalone, it left me craving more. The way it blends folklore with modern existential dread is masterful—it’s like if Shirley Jackson wrote a coastal horror novel. There’s no official series, but the fan theories are wild. Some think it’s secretly connected to other maritime myths in the author’s bibliography, though that’s probably wishful thinking. Still, the ambiguity works in its favor; sometimes, a single haunting story is more powerful than a sprawling Saga. But hey, I wouldn’t say no to a companion novella.
Hagstone has this mysterious allure that makes me wonder if it’s part of a bigger universe. I stumbled upon it while browsing indie bookstores, and the cover alone gave me chills—it’s got that eerie, folkloric vibe. After digging into it, I realized it’s a standalone novel, but the way it’s written leaves so much room for expansion. The author, I think, intentionally crafted it to feel like there’s more lurking beneath the surface, like a secret mythology waiting to be explored.
That said, I’d kill for a sequel or even a prequel. The setting—a remote Island with creepy rituals—could easily spawn a series. Imagine spin-offs about other characters or deeper dives into the island’s history. Until then, I’ll just reread it and speculate wildly with fellow fans online.
From what I’ve gathered, 'Hagstone' isn’t tied to a series, but it should be. The world-building is so rich—it’s got this atmospheric, almost gothic feel that reminds me of 'The Loney' or 'the essex serpent.' The protagonist’s journey is self-contained, but the supporting characters are so vivid that they could carry their own stories. I’ve seen fans begging for more, and honestly, I’m right there with them. The book’s themes of isolation and superstition are ripe for expansion. Maybe the author’s holding out for the right inspiration?

Guardians of the Stones is the first part of a fantasy adventure trilogy depicting a modern eternal struggle between good and evil.
This is a modern novel in which we will meet adventures, dangers, secrets, love and many human experiences. The novel will appeal to fans of detectives and thrillers, but it will also be a pleasure to read for those who like adventure and romance novels. There are very few elements of fantasy in the book, so even those who do not like fantasy will enjoy the novel.
The book takes place in the 21st century, in the modern world.
it seems to stand alone rather than being part of a larger universe. The story has its own unique flavor and doesn't reference other works or spin-offs. That said, the author's style leaves room for imagination, making it feel expansive even if it isn't technically connected to other books. I love how self-contained it is, focusing on its own rich characters and plot without needing external ties. If you're looking for a standalone with depth, this one nails it.
