Tanys Defiant

The Perils of Tanys #1

by Andrew Hunter, Necrovert

Erotic peril in a land of darkest fantasy! Taken in the night by trolls, Tanys, warrior woman of the Raven tribe, finds herself fighting for her life in the slave pits of their dark city. There she meets Carathan, the brooding sorcerer whose eyes strip away her every defense. His quest for forbidden power sweeps her away to a world of violence and sensuality. She must test her wits and steel against inhuman foes in the depths of a sunken city and risk her body and soul in the dungeons of the depraved blood mages. Learn her fate within, if you dare!

About the author

My name is Andrew Hunter. I am an artist and writer living in the sun-seared savannas of Texas with my wife, three kids, and a cat.

I’ve loved fantasy since my earliest bedtime stories of Tolkien and Lewis and came of age in the worlds of Lovecraft, Gygax, and Frazetta. I’ve vinted wine, shoveled offal, kept an inn, and made video games. How this qualifies me to write books about dragons and draw pictures of elves, I have no idea. I do have a couple of college degrees in that sort of thing, I suppose, but mainly I just sit down and start filling pages with all this nonsense.

This was the first time I have read a book of this genre by choice and I didn't hate it! Will see what the future holds.

This is better than most self-published works I've read lately; good enough that I'm considering buying the sequel. It has an interesting plot, and were the characters and story fleshed out a bit, it could be very good. As it is, the author moved from action scene to action scene without much character development in between. The spelling and grammar aren't too bad, but it would benefit from some light editing. All-in-all a pretty good start for the author. I'll keep an eye on his work to see how he develops.

Wow! Fantastic read! Epic/High Fantasy with a mix of erotica thrown in. I've read a lot of high fantasy, and I've read a lot of erotica...this is the best of both worlds. Very well done, with realistic characters and a little bit of humor thrown in for good measure.

It's a good fantasy adventure full with perils both of body and mind, but also perils of the flesh. I liked Tanys attitude toward life, love, and battle. In general, the characters were well developed and interesting, the action is fast-paced. Yes, it has a lot of fetish scenes of one kind or another, but that is the point and I loved them completely. Give the story an opportunity. I can't wait to read the sequel.
