The Tower and The Eye: A Beginning
Prince Loric and his companions gather at a tavern in the village of Pleasemore, in the heart of his father’s kingdom of Galivor.
A castle ruin has drawn him forth and he risks his life to capture the Heart of the dungeon below it. With battles and creatures aplenty, who will return to the light of day alive to tell the tale?
The Story Behind This Book
The Tower and The Eye is a series of Novellas that came out of my love for RPG and Sword & Sorcery. I have many happy memories of spending Saturday and Sunday afternoons, rolling dice, acting out my character and generally being elvish. When I started writing seriously, it was natural that I used my experiences in RPG to aid my story development. So you’ll often find me rolling a 10 sided die to decide what happens to a character or where they are going. I also drew inspiration from a number of Fantasy / Sword & Sorcery based console games that I love to play and the Master of Pure Fantasy, J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The Tower and The Eye tales began appearing after I had spent a while writing horror stories and I needed to get back to my fantasy work. My horror side does come through in the battles, but I enjoy the journeys that I make my characters take (whether the characters enjoy them is another thing!) and these stories are pure fantasy – Elves, Dwarves, Orc’s; Demons, sword fights and magic aplenty.
