Plot summary
Watchtower is a novel that is first in a trilogy about Tomor Keep.[1]
Reception
Greg Costikyan reviewed Watchtower in Ares Magazine #3 and commented that "The plot is a common one; the birthright of a young lord is stolen by invaders, and he must escape and gather forces to reconquer his rightful domain. The book is saved by fine and unpretentious writing, full-fledged characters, and fast-paced plotting. Lynn, I suspect, is another new writer to watch."[1]
Watchtower won the World Fantasy Award—Novel for 1980.[2]
