When a local mason asks Mira for her hand in marriage, it forces them to finally act on their swelling, secret love.

Set in Stone is an irresistible tale of forbidden passion and unyielding defiance. This captivating historical journey is a testament to forging one’s path, defying patriarchal norms, and the unbreakable bond of two women who refused to be confined by the world’s expectations.
