Anniversary GIVEAWAY - Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor

The seventh of March marks one year since I started this journey, blog, and my first post. Since the start I've made about forty posts on this blog, and read twenty-one Forgotten Realms novels/anthologies, and nineteen separate short stories from Dragon Magazine, Dragon+, and even one from a game manual.

When I received the books for my haul in November, I also received a copy of a book I had not ordered, one I already had. That book is Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. It is a standalone novel written by Carrie Bebris for the SSI video game, and copies of the books came in the collectors edition of the game. There is even a Third Edition D&D module related to the game and novel; for this giveaway though I only have the novel. It will also be limited to the United States, sorry to any international fans!

I'm happy to be able to give this book away though, the copy is in good condition, and if the winner wants to read along with me I will publish some of their thoughts along with my own when I do a review. The giveaway will run for a month, with the drawing and winner being picked at random on March 7.

The blurb on the back of the book reads as such:

A malevolent pool. A diabolical cult. A horrific plan.

A dracolich and his sorcerous queen have seized control of the Mythal, the ancient magic that once protected the war-ravaged elven capital.

Once the elven ruin is completely in their thrall, the cult intends to expand its domination one city—and one soul—at a time.

The fate of all Faerûn lies with four reluctant heroes.

Here are pictures of the copy up for grabs (this copy is actually better than mine):

Thank you all for joining me on my reading adventures. I got the idea for this blog after reading Downshadow by Erik Scott de Bie (book 3 of Ed Greenwood Presents Waterdeep), and speaking with an acquaintance who makes Forgotten Realms dramas about Forgotten Realms novels. March of 2020 is still my most productive month so far, since I was playing catch up with all that I head read up to that point. Thanks for joining the giveaway and for sticking around!

Good luck to everyone!

GIVEAWAY: The Avatar Trilogy

I recently had a birthday, and I made a mistake, one that benefits you!
For those that do not know this blog is my written experience as I attempt to read everyone of the three hundred Forgotten Realms novels. I post reviews, hauls, and observations from the reading here for others to join in on the conversation. I also like to collect the books and so for my birthday I asked for The Avatar Trilogy by Richard Awlinson. I then turned around and bought the entire trilogy because I forgot I asked for it. A few weeks went by and when my birthday actually rolled around, surprise, I was gifted with the Avatar Trilogy!
This giveaway is timely as I just reached the point in The Legend of Drizzt when the Time of Troubles begins in Siege of Darkness. And surprisingly I don't need two copies of a series, so I am giving away a copy of the trilogy. More entries means more chances of winning. The winner will be drawn randomly at the end of the month. Just enter below.

The Avatar Trilogy focuses on a group of adventurers during the onset of the Time of Troubles, when the gods have been forced to walk among mortals in avatar form. It is a time when lots of deities will die and mortals rise to godhood.

For fun facts, the Avatar Trilogy was later expanded into a series of five books. The Original books were released in 1989 and they were Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep, with Prince of Lies and The Trial of Cyric the Mad being added in 1993 and 1998 respectively. While the original trilogy were published under the name Richard Awlinson, this is actually a pen name. The first two were written by Scott Ciencin and the third by Troy Denning. When the books were printed in 2003 they received revamped covers and the pen name was dropped altogether.

The books themselves are used. The first and third have the original cover while the second book is a reprint. I would say the first is in acceptable condition while the other two are in good condition. I will send them promptly after the winner has been chosen.

Thanks for reading, and good luck!
