About The Towers of the Sunset
The Saga of Recluce wouldn't exist without Creslin and his journey from the Roof of the World to escape a marriage he didn't want. It takes him through the low lands into Fairhaven and its white mages who magically confine him in a mental white prison and put him to work on a road crew. He escapes only to wind up with the woman he was supposed to marry and the raw commotion that brings about. His powers grow as he finds himself a co-regent to the Island of Recluce and many more adventures. Again, a book worth the reading. gmb 8/13/2020
