The Eye of Ksera
The Eye of Ksera | Sedigitus Swift
1 post | 1 read
It's hard to hide from a sorceress—as Colmar, a reluctant soldier of fortune, discovers after crossing the distinctly dangerous Valdira over a powerful magical artifact, the Eye of Ksera. To add to his troubles, a sinister necromancer, a grasping abbess, and an undead sorceress-queen all have this tantalizing treasure in their sights, as well! Indeed, the Eye is an ill-fated gem that has cost the lives of many who have sought to possess it over the centuries. Who will survive this briskly paced adventure in a quirky world with two moons and five different systems of magic? Who will emerge from it with the Eye? And, nearly as important, who will end up with custody of Angvar, the necromancer's crested green lizard?

Suffers from an abundance of superfluous adjectives (and then, from chapter 4, unnecessary parentheses) but still entertaining.
Each chapter is prefaced by a ‘quote‘ from a history book or guide from that world which may be from more modern times (mention of tarred roads, motor cars and petrol sheds); maybe this is meant to indicate its set in the distant past but instead feels awkward.
Still reading
