The Arm of the Stone by Victoria Strauss

HE REMEMBERS THE TALE.
Of a day when Mind and Hand were one, bound by the all-powerful Stone. Of an unfathomable evil which seized the Stone with ruthless treachery. Sundered its worlds. Used its might to conquer the domain of Mind. And shielded the ill-gained talisman in an impenetrable fortress.

HE HEARS THE TALE.
Of the One Who Comes. The deliverer. The avenger. The One who has been awaited for ten centuries and more. Who wields a power whose like has never before been seen. Who will restore freedom. Peace. And the Stone.

Bron looks up. And he knows.
HE IS THE TALE.
