Dark Castle Nor and The Untold Truth Uploaded: 10/11/2008

Book - Historical, Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Coast of Wales 1110 AD They were elves known as Eurbries; a very distinct clan, possessing unusual furry tails. Chased from their huts in the forest by an evil king and his knights, they fled into a cave too small for their enemies to follow. Never again would they reappear. Their species became extinct in the blink of an eye to live on only as legend. Coast of Wales Autumn 1201 AD A young elf woke from a strange dream in his bedroom in a land deep inside the earth. His vision kept recurring where he witnessed two women being held against their will in a dungeon below Castle Nor. Barely in their teens and against the clan’s will, Tril and Lily set out to free these two prisoners. Tril was sure the spirits had shown him visions for this very purpose and not to act would be against God’s will. Never before above ground, this strange world held breathtaking challenges they never imagined making the caverns below seem stifling and dull. Befriended by a young wolf with an agenda of his own involving justice and revenge, they became a force to be reckoned with against an unjust land. The story winds through the sewers below Castle Nor, rising from a small island off the coast, to the forest of the Eurbries and the meadows below Castle Win. Fear kept the Eurbries concealed safely underground for 91 years but now they could be exposed by the carelessness of two young adults. What were the clan’s options? None, it seemed. Wealthy now because their caverns were rich with emeralds; their wealth would only intensify the greed of Lord Venome and hasten their demise for sure this time. The clan knew Tril and Lily were not equipped to deal with a world they had only heard of and would surly fail. Sir Arron was betrothed to Lady Alaine. Forced to marry a woman he had never met by a father’s unfair demands, his stomach curdled at the news. But hearing she was lost at sea on her way to the wedding changed his heart. Lost without a trace was an unacceptable answer to someone’s life. A rescue party must be gathered immediately. Multiple protagonists from wolves, humans to elves all come together. They are bonded by compassion for one another to battle greed, lust and coercion. Good verses evil is colored lightly with humor. The only grey area is different opinions of truth. Coast of Wales October, 2008 Novelist Robin Duggan and daughter Alaine traveled from Torrance California to Wales to research her book. Could ruins from ancient times still exist to give truth to her story of elves, love and romance handed down to her through many centuries? Two pages were all that survived from a diary found in the ruins of Castle Win by one of her ancestors, sparking a glimmer of authenticity to her novel she so wanted to believe in. Penned by Lady Alaine in 1201AD, the manuscript was found in her mum’s sea chest after her death. To denounce the credibility of elves would mean the whole story was a lie. But really, if God designed dinosaurs . . . Elves were hardly a far fetched possibility.

Book - Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Dark Castle Nor and the Untold Truth Synopsis Coast of Wales, 1110 A.D. King Nor was a bigot . . . No other word gave full credence to his hatred toward Eurbries; a clan of elves with long furry tails. Chased through their forest by the king and his soldiers, the elves fled into a dark cave. With the forest torched, the king turned back toward his castle. Everything would burn, the angry flames sucking every breath of air from the cave. The battle was won without lifting a sword. He grinned. The forest would grow back, but not the Eurbries. Coast of Wales Autumn, 1201 A.D. In caverns deep below ground thought to be the center of the earth, a young elf woke from his pallet drenched in sweat. What seemed at first to be a dream playing out in his mind, only intensified now with his eyes wide open. If the spirits were trying to get his attention, they succeeded. Not to act on visions brought before him night after night would surely be against God’s will Tril thought. So, with the urging of his friend Lily, the two teens set out on a journey to the forbidden land above to free two women from bondage in the dungeon below Castle Nor. Their only weapons were faith and heart, but would this be enough to get them by in a land they had never seen? Lily thought so but the clan was furious when informed of their departure. Fear kept the elves concealed safely underground for 91 years and now they could be exposed by the brash carelessness of two young adults. To send out a party to bring them back would only increase the clan’s risk of exposure to an evil world. Now above ground in a dark forest, Tril and Lily are befriended by a young wolf with an agenda all his own concerning justice and revenge. Having his parents slaughtered by Lord Venome and four of his soldiers was reason enough to save two elves from the same threat. Later, Lord Venome found himself very troubled. Why were soldiers showing up dead in an unusual manner? Could the two witches in the dungeon be responsible for the strange phenomenon? Or, were there other magical forces terrorizing his world? Either way, the witches would soon be put to death getting rid of at least that threat. Lord Venome winced; a pain shooting through his loins and he remembered. Diannis . . . Her nude body beneath him was so beautiful in the candlelight above the bedding. How she struggled to be free. He shuddered remembering the broken wine glass she swung in a mad frenzy above her nearly detaching his manhood in a single stroke. Damn! For that, she and Cyranese would pay with their sorry lives. Sir Arron’s eyes were full of hate. How dare his father betroth him to a woman he’d never seen. Was he just a pawn in Lord Win’s grand scheme of things? To run from the responsibility of privilege seemed to be the only logical choice he had. But hearing that his fiancé’s ship was lost at sea on the way to the wedding gave him change of heart. There must be an answer. Ships don’t just disappear. Lost without a trace was not acceptable. Alaine’s life deserved more than that. To give up hope was to give up on life. Castle Nor rose from the perimeter of a small island like an angry stone dragon a mile out to sea, a narrow rock jetty connecting it to shore. The huge monolith seemed impenetrable to Tril but why would the spirits give him a task that was impossible? Lily assured Tril it would all work out. It was good he had her. Time stole the Eurbries from the thoughts of those at Castle Nor now 91 years since their supposed demise. Did they ever really exist? Most citizens thought not. Just imaginary tales dreamed up by someone to tell their children at bedtime. But for the farmers outside the castle, there was always a feeling in the air that the legend had merit. Economics was the silent reasoning causing some to wonder. In the dark caverns where the clan found themselves that night of terror so long ago, the soil was rich with emeralds. That was the clue. Elves disguised as humans called “Grounders” were the only ones allowed above ground, ever. They traded emeralds regularly with local farmers for staples and hardware needed to survive in their harsh environment. The elves were very generous and the farmers prospered selling the emeralds to traveling merchants. In a way, Lord Venome prospered also, but had cause to wonder. How could farmers do so well regardless of how much he raised taxes? Something was amiss but he couldn’t quite put a finger on it. When finally the Eurbries were exposed, greed and hatred festered, but there were those who stood up for the clan’s right to exist. To save the wrongly accused witches of Castle Nor, multiple protagonists came together as one for the cause, some being different species: elves and a wolf. All were fighting for the same justice but unaware of each other’s existence until the very end. It seems the spirits had a clear perception of what needed to be done and had a hand in orchestrating the results.
