Today is release day for Buried Reign.
No matter how many books I write, release day never gets old.
There’s always a mix of excitement, gratitude, and joy. Ha! It’s like Christmas. I spend months living with these characters—celebrating their victories, feeling their heartbreak, following every twist right alongside them. By the time release day arrives, they’ve become part of my everyday life. Mostly because they won’t stop chattering in my head.
Then comes the thrilling part…
Sending them off into the world to share with you.
Today, Buried Reign is no longer just my story—it’s yours.
I can’t tell you how much I hope you’ll laugh with Indie and Broc, worry about them, and stay up far too late because you just have to know what happens next. Those are the moments every author dreams about.
In Buried Reign, what begins with the murder of a respected doctor’s wife quickly spirals into a mystery filled with hidden secrets, dangerous lies, and a trail of victims that refuses to end. As Indie and Broc search for answers, they’ll discover that some legends are more than just stories… and sometimes the most dangerous monsters are all too human.

It has been such a wonderfully busy season around here lately. Between releasing the Sky Stryker Starter Collection, sharing the cover reveals for Hidden Chance and Hunted by the Shadow, and now celebrating Buried Reign, I feel like we’re always counting down to something exciting.
And the fun isn’t over yet.
I still have more stories to share, more cover reveals on the way, and plenty of surprises waiting in the months ahead. I honestly can’t wait to bring you along for each and every one of them.
Thank you for continuing to make this journey so special. Every email you open, every page you read, every review you leave, and every book you recommend helps these stories reach new readers. More than that, it reminds me why I love writing in the first place.
Because of you, I get to keep telling these stories. And for that, I’ll always be grateful. 😍
Warmest regards,
Mary
What’s done is buried. But what’s buried isn’t done.
Before Sherwood County can recover from a harrowing active shooter situation, the beloved wife of a prominent doctor is found strangled in her home. When the sheriff assigns Detective Indie Reign the case, she knows it’s going to be a sensitive one—the victim is friends with the sheriff.
But before she’s even finished questioning the victim’s husband, another body turns up. In a suitcase.
Then a third.
And each case is grislier and more disturbing than the last.
Rumors fly that the deaths are related to a farfetched local myth about Lizard People. Surely human-sized lizards aren’t killing… Read More
About Buried Reign
Buried Reign is the suspenseful fourth novel in the Indie Reign series by Mary Stone and Karen Guyler, where superstition fuels fear, secrets demand blood, and the truth is more dangerous than the legend.
Outstanding!
Detective Indira Reign and her K9 partner Officer Broc are so much fun. Mary Stone and Karen Guyler have written these characters with a boatload of charm, charisma and intelligence. Along with Detective Hen Chambers they are on the hunt for several killers. The one case involves the mysterious Lizard People and the other the murder of a Doctor’s wife. This is an action packed mystery filled with lots of twists and turns!
The Incredible Mary Stone At Her Best
Buried Reign is a must read by the INCREDABLE Mary Stone! It will keep you reading cover to cover at one sitting. Be sure to set aside enough time, because once you start reading, you won't want to put it down.
This mystery has everything you need to be thrilled and guessing to the end
Indie and Hen are in full investigative mood again. Three murders, old folk tales, drugs, family secrets and of course the fun with Broc. I love the K-9 and the tension of the cases mixing with the banter. Mary and Karen created again the thrilling mystery, that made me turn the pages fast and at the end again the surprise and cliff hanger I did not expect. Wow. What a ride in the so called sleepy community. I really enjoyed it.
