I enjoyed reading this descriptive short story by David Cox. 'His penmanship slid across the parchment, mimicking the exact way an insect glides across the water without breaking the surface.' There is a nice relaxed flow to the text, which holds the reader's attention and builds with suspense to a thrilling conclusion. |
Gawain is an aged magician with an intriguing blue glow, who shares some of the mysteries of his past. The blue glow represents his interest in the arts of knowledge and deciphering. King Thodric is a strong king who we discover has been betrayed. Queen Seleyne is a beautiful lady who hold a secret that could tear their kingdom apart.
My favourite character was Gawain, the powerful magician who undoubtedly has many powers as yet untold.
The past comes back to haunt the royal family in this nail-biter, which reminded me of Games of Thrones. Great story by David Cox, which left me again wishing he would write longer pieces. Well done. I look forward to the next adventure.
