And now for something a little bit different.\u00a0 Welcome back travelers, as we take you on your second trip into the Otherworld today.\u00a0 Whereas fantasy has a certain feel that we’re used to, it’s also somewhat interesting to have it twist and turn in directions that we were not expecting.\u00a0 So it is this next adventure, to the Fortress of Freedom<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While we typically interpret fantasy with tones of medieval Europe, author Andrew Lawlor had something different in mind when it came to his debut, Fortress of Freedom<\/em>, the first book in his Eoslira series.\u00a0 In many ways, Lawlor’s novel feels more akin to the events of early American history rather than the visions of knights on horseback, or wizards conjuring spells in ancient castles.\u00a0 Because of this, there’s a certain novelty to Fortress of Freedom<\/em>, where things breathe a little more of a Native American air, alongside the growing threat of violent colonialism.\u00a0 Lawlor turns a great deal of expectations on their head, and his tale is better for it.<\/p>\n

Two brothers captured, taken to the new world, and sold into slavery\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Standing nearly eight feet tall, Olfin is a giant of the Ice Desert\u2014a proud tribe of nomadic hunters. But the disappearance of the great mammoth herds forces Olfin and his brother, Uzul, to travel far to the west\u2014to the shores of the Great Salt Lake\u2014to find them. They come face to face with human poachers where they are captured, sold to the slaver lords of the new world, and forced to work the jitterstalk fields in brutal conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Olfin has a gift for languages; but his desire to escape only grows alongside his knowledge of the human tongue. As their chance to flee the plantation arrives\u2014an even bigger threat emerges\u2013putting both of their lives on the line and sparking war on the colonial frontier. Olfin wants revenge against his cruel captor, Lord Thorpe\u2014but he must choose his allies carefully or live with the consequences.<\/em><\/p>\n

Though Lawlor’s first foray into fantasy can be a bit jarring as you first step foot into his world, it’s also endlessly enjoyable.\u00a0 Readers will see new interpretations of tried-and-true fantasy tropes, and see how the new setting affects them.\u00a0 Rather than just going on as normal, it seems that everything in the Eoslira series blends together into a new and exciting set of possibilities.\u00a0 With Lawlor working on expanding the tapestry of his world, it won’t be long until a second book hits shelves.\u00a0 If you act now, you can get acclimated to the world early.\u00a0 Check out Fortress of Freedom (Eoslira Book 1)<\/em> on Amazon<\/a> today!<\/p>\n
