It began with a scream in the storm, shattering the world like thunder, yielding creatures born of nightmare and the firewind. Abominations appeared, thriving on despair, pain and fear; monsters that had not existed since a time so long ago that history had drifted into legend. Tahrl Morgan ap Morin was the leader of the Troglodyte Defense; he had been born of the Kianan and raised by the Montmorin. Protector of the Kianan, Montmorin and Dryn, he was the one who now found himself facing the nightmare storm; the one who must stop monsters that had not walked the earth since time out of mind. A scream had fractured the world like a splinter of chaos thrust into the mind. The song had been broken, and the world had to be made new once more.

About the Author
Keith Jones has been creating stories in one form or another since he was old enough to scratch a pen across paper. Before he was old enough to write, he would draw his tales with stick figures and 2D landscapes. The stories that would finally reach focus with The Magic Flute began to take shape when he was 16 years old. An unexpected turn in college lead him to earn a Masters Degree in Composing Modern Classical Music from San Francisco State University. After devouring the secrets of how to create music, he returned to the pursuit of the written word. In February of 1998, he attended the Alternate Press Expo in San Jose, California, and instantly caught the self-publishing bug; a condition from which he hopes never to recover.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A welcome relief,

This review is from: The Magic Flute (Paperback)
I can only take so many TSR cranked out fantasy novels or Tolkien/McCaffrey/Brooks Wannabes. This book falls into none of the above.A good story, with a much more complicated plot. Not feather-weight reading. Wake up and pay attention. An independant fantasy novel that doesn't read like someone's transcribed Role-Playing Game
