Deep Dwelling

The Watchers #3

by Nathan Jones

It's been a month since the tragedy at Ranger's Hall. During that time Drew, his friend Tyler, and the rest of the Watchers have worked hard preparing themselves to face Yavic again. The scheming antique hunter and his assistant have managed to steal five of the six pieces of the Master Key, and with the sixth piece unknown they might already be too late to stop him from putting the Gruzk artifact back together and carrying out his plots.

In Deep Dwelling, final book of The Watchers Trilogy, Drew and his friends must race to either hunt Yavic down or find and protect the last piece of the Master Key. The fate of the world, mundane as well as magical, depends on them, and Drew can no longer trust that the antique hunter's intentions are good. Their search will take them to the deepest and most dangerous places in the underground world, including braving the peril of Gruzk guardians in the heart of that vanished race's most wondrous city, the Deep Dwelling itself.

And unbeknownst to them, they might not be the only ones after Yavic, or seeking out the mysteries of the forgotten civilization.

About the author

My name is Nathan Jones. I write mainly in the post-apocalyptic and science fiction genres. My most recently completed project is The Challenge, first book of the post-apocalyptic No More Content series, a collaboration with my brother Seth Jones. My next project is Mythas, first book of the fantasy adventure series Band of Outcasts.

I've been a longtime reader of post-apocalyptic fiction, and like to explore various scenarios in which disasters could occur. One interest has been observing just how fragile our modern life is, and how little it would take to send us back to a low tech existence that people in general no longer possess the knowledge or skills to survive in. That interest inspired me to write and publish my completed post-apocalyptic series Best Laid Plans, comprising the five books Fuel, Shortage, Invasion, Reclamation, and Determination, and to build on that story with the completed Nuclear Winter series, which begins shortly after Best Laid Plans ends and includes the four books First Winter, First Spring, Chain Breakers, and Going Home, as well as the standalone novel Fallen City.

Outside the Best Laid Plans world I've written the completed post-apocalyptic Mountain Man series, with the novels Badlands, Homecoming, Homeland, Mountain War, Final Stand, and Lone Valley. I also have the completed post-apocalyptic Isolation series with Shut In, Going Out, Starting Anew, and Holding On. My current post-apocalyptic series is No More Content, with the recently released first book The Challenge.

I've also been a longtime reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy, with an equally deep love of those two genres. This has inspired multiple projects, the most recently completed being my science fiction novel Caretakers, Book Two of the Stag Privateers series, sequel to Last Stand. My other science fiction story is Boralene, Book One of the Stellar Merger series.

The stories I've written in the Young Adult Fantasy genre have now been moved over from another pen name to be available alongside my other books. These books include the completed The Watchers trilogy with Undying Heights, Ithel's Library, and Deep Dwelling, the completed The Protectorate series with Corsairs, Revenants, Invaders, and Shipwrights, and the standalone children's fairy tale Firefly Girl.
