The Tower and The Eye #1
A Beginning
Peace came at a price…
The Black Tower War lingers in memory and the stories that spark fear in children lie in truths long buried. Tales of the Dungeons of Doom, a fearsome Overlord and The Eye that rules all, remind the people of the Heart Kingdoms of Quargard that harmony must be earned.
…and danger lurks just below the surface.
When the Overlord and his Creatures re-awaken, Heroes and Heroines must arise to stem the tide of evil. So it is decreed. So does Legend say.
From each Kingdom, a Champion…
…born to become a Dungeon Destroyer. But the tales and legends leave much to be desired and not all who venture into the Dungeons of Doom will emerge alive.

About the author
Kira Morgana
32 books6 followersKira thought she was a Teacher, until Life pointed out to her that she is actually a writer. As her Cats, Kids and Partner approved, she decided to agree with Life.
Currently she is working on various Fantasy books as well as a number of other projects, including a Children's Rhyming Story Series collaboration with Maria K; and as "A.E. Churchyard" on several Science Fiction and Horror projects.
As If that weren't enough, she volunteers with the Local Guiding District and tries very hard to keep the house tidy...
She does all this from a body in South Wales, UK. Where her mind is, she hasn’t yet worked out; because apart from seeing a lot of Fantasy Creatures, Space Marines and Aliens she hasn’t actually managed to find someone with a map or handy TARDIS...
PS: She also has a serious ellipsis and semi-colon addiction...

A Beginning (The Tower and The Eye) starts out as a pretty standard Dungeons and Dragons romp. You have your basic characters (Human, Dwarf, Cleric, Theif, Elf) and all the cross race banter you would expect. You have a dungeon to explore (loaded with traps, threats etc) and you have an Ancient Enemy.
When you put all these elements together you could have a run-of-the-mill story but thanks to the authors love of, and experience with all things d+d, what you get is a short story with a lot of promise for the series it is setting up.
There are twists and turns to the story that I didn't expect and an ending that left me stunned, in so much as I never saw THAT coming.
A grand start to what promises to be a classic fantasy series for years to come

It made a change for me looking back on the type of games I used to write so many years ago. They have evolved over the years and are easily adapted to book form as this is. A delightful read, a little too short for my liking, nevertheless, plenty of action with all the usual kinds of creature found in these wizards dungeons. I was a little puzzled with the description of the clothing colours in the first chapter. Maybe the author spends a lot of her time browsing colour charts :-)
