The Chronicles of Tornor

Fantasy series by Elizabeth A. Lynn

The Chronicles of Tornor is a fantasy series by American author Elizabeth A. Lynn. The first book in the series, Watchtower (1979), won a World Fantasy Award for Best Novel; its sequel, The Dancers of Arun (1979) was nominated for a World Fantasy Award in the same year. It is one of the earliest fantasy series to feature positive gay protagonists whose relationships are an unremarkable part of the cultural background, as well as to present explicit and sympathetic depictions of same-sex love.[1][2] The third title in the series is The Northern Girl (1980).

Reception

Richard A. Lupoff praised Watchtower for its "characterization, the solidity of structure and the accomplishment of narration."[3]
