[QUOTE="JediSoth, post: 8681083, member: 13882"] My fantasy novels are all inspired by D&D, though I've taken steps to conceal the pedigree a bit. They are, in chronological order: The Foundation of Drak-Anor: [URL='http://amazon.com/gp/product/B005U6WPB6'][I]Wings of Twilight[/I][/URL] and [URL='http://amazon.com/gp/product/B008QG4YTS'][I]Iron Fist of the Oroqs[/I][/URL] These two tell the story of a city of monsters just trying to survive the groups of "heroes" who keep coming to kill them and take their stuff, when really all they want to do it just live their lives and become an accepted part of society. The first book has been described as Prachett-esque and another reader says it contains the best example of a stereotypical "jerk" paladin that she's ever read (she used another word that Eric's Grandma wouldn't approve of). Scars of the Sundering: [URL='http://amazon.com/gp/product/B0127DM4NI'][I]Malediction[/I][/URL], [URL='http://amazon.com/gp/product/B01IQFTYDO'][I]Lament[/I][/URL], and [URL='http://amazon.com/gp/product/B073VBNMHS'][I]Salvation[/I][/URL] These three see some of the characters from The Foundation of Drak-Anor go out into the wider world to deal with repercussions of things they had to do to survive when Drak-Anor was just considered a pit of evil to be eradicated. Along the way, they get involved in political schemes both in national affairs and in the Arcane University while unraveling the plot of a long-dead sorcerer to return to power. [URL='http://amazon.com/gp/product/B086GFW96P'][I]Summer of Crows[/I][/URL] This is a standalone novel that follows up on one of the human characters from The Foundation of Drak-Anor some 10 years after those books as she tries to put her life back together in a small mining town far, far away from the places that cause her such pain. In dealing with a chaos rift left over from the Healing of the World, she becomes heir to the legacy of the Crow Queen. Within each series, the books should be read in order, but one can read Scars of the Sundering without having read The Foundation of Drak-Anor, and Summer of Crows can be read without having read any of the other five. You'll have a greater understanding of backstory, but I didn't want someone to see [I]Summer of Crows[/I] and pass on it because they didn't want to read five other books first (and frankly, [I]Summer of Crows[/I] is the best written of the bunch because it's the most recent). Caveat: A second edition of [I]Malediction [/I]is forthcoming; while producing the audio book, we discovered the the wrong file had been uploaded to Amazon and many of the final round of edits never made it into the book... then I discovered that final file somehow vanished. [I]sobs[/I] So, it's being re-edited. As yet, we have not discovered the same issues in [I]Lament [/I]or [I]Salvation[/I]. The story won't change, but it'll just be cleaner and have better flow in places. [/QUOTE]
