Prisoners of the Wailing Tower

Here we are with another flashback to my Minstrels of Skaythe series. I’m partly doing this because school has started up and I’m trying to focus a bit on that rather than writing new blog posts. It also comes about because my WIP shelf was getting full. I had to take the novellas out of their binders and put them in boxes. Which of course led to me reading through the choice bits.

Prisoners of the Wailing Tower is the fifth novella. Previous novellas had mentioned the dire fate of rebel mages, but here we get to see it first hand. Although this novella focused on Alemin and Lorrah, I began to weave in characters from the previous e-books, namely Badger Squad.

Prisoners of the Wailing Tower

Alemin only wanted to help an innocent. Instead, he was caught by the dreaded hunter-guards. Now he finds himself flung into the Larder, where the very walls are steeped in nightmares and his fellow inmates are vicious killers. Worse, Warden Ar-Lizelle seems intent on tracking down his friends, the Minstrels, who have devoted their lives to undermining Skaythe’s tyrannical regime.

On the outside, the renegade mage Lorrah receives a premonition of Alemin’s plight. She’s desperate to save a man she cares for, but the Larder is commanded by someone she has hated for years and can’t bear to face: her cruel sister, Ar-Lizelle. Luckily, Lorrah is not alone. She has help from the fierce women warriors of Badger Squad. Yet even their combined forces might not be enough to get Alemin free from Dar-Gothull’s Larder!
