“Author P.L. Stuart thrills and enchants with his debut book, A Drowned Kingdom…Beautiful descriptive writing…Through skillfully written dialogue, actions and mannerisms, each character is vividly brought to life, counterbalancing one another in gripping political intrigue, alliance, and romance…Lovers of book series like A Song of Ice and Fire and The Witcher will find themselves right at home. Political power play and an intriguing magic system in the hands of beguiling all-female mages along with thrilling battle scenes drives the pace forward, yet depth of character remains so poignant that every bit of action is filled with emotional stakes. A Drowned Kingdom has been one of the highlights of my reading list and with this strong first entry I expect great things for the series. I personally can’t wait for the next book, and I can highly recommend it to any Fantasy lover looking for an original and exceptionally crafted novel…I give this book 5 stars! I could give it 100! I could give it it’s own galaxy, it shines so bright!”

“Richly detailed, Stuart draws you into a land of bitter rivalries and political intrigue, a novel of pure escapism…Not only does Stuart conjure a vast kingdom in vivid detail, he writes as if he himself were an old sage raised in Nantyx narrating from an ancient scroll…In a time where we find ourselves more confined than ever before, Stuart provides a welcome adventure transporting us far and away plunging us into a distant realm of magic and mystery.”
