Prisoner of the Mountain Watch
by Kay Berrisford (Goodreads Author)

This was a good story, but it felt like the prequel to what I hope will be a longer novel. At least, I hope that is the case. I enjoyed the story of Ivanhal being secluded in the mountain because of his tastes, and the ongoing battle between the ghou...more
