The Tower and The Eye #1
A Beginning
The world of Quargard is at peace. The Heart Kingdoms of Galivor, Jinran, Franier, Valdir, Reldheim and Alethdariel co-exist harmoniously, but it was not always so.
The stories of the Black Tower War keep the children of the four kingdoms in check. Parents ensure that they eat their greens and go to bed on time by passing on the tales of the Dungeons of Doom, ruled over by The Eye of The Overlord. Adults consider them to be only stories, but stories are sometimes true and they always go around in cycles...
From each land comes a tale of daring do, a Hero or Heroine stepping up to take on the job of Dungeon Destroyer, whether they know it or not.
Can the peace of the Heart Kingdoms survive the re-awakening of the Overlord and his horde of Creatures? Will those who venture into the dungeons return alive? Who knows?
Venture into the World of Quargard and find out for yourself.
Book One: A Beginning.
A mad King rules in Galivor. His sons vie for the right to become his official heir. While the youngest, Korin, chases the bandits plaguing the land, Loric sets out to plunder an abandoned dungeon.
With his dwarven bodyguard Grimhelm Drakesplitter; the elven mage Lord Silvertree; Cleric of Espilieth, Lady Kalytia and the thief, Thiert of Galindren; Loric enters the ruins of a Dungeon of Doom on the outskirts of Pleasemore Village.
Little do they know they are being watched…

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 :-)
