"Sorcerer's Code (Tales of Eisengoth)" is a short fantasy adventure by author Christopher Kellen. This Kindle e-book was a 141 kb download and was priced at $0.99 at the time of writing this review.<spoilers>Murder most foul has occurred in the ancient city of Elinia... not just any murder, but one of the elite and reportedly near invincible Arbiters. And it's significant to note that the body was discovered by sorcerer and scholar, Edar Moncrief. When another Arbiter, D'Arden Tal, comes to check on his missing companion, Moncrief finds that more than this grisly murder is being investigated.Some thoughts on "Sorcerer's Code"...1.) a well written and easy read.2.) an intriguing plot that holds the readers interest to the end.3.) an eerie, unsettling atmosphere is developed as our adventurers traverse the city's somewhat more seedy sections after nightfall.4.) <spoiler> an unexpected twist at the end that completely shifts the focus of the tale.5.) cover art... very appealing and drawn by the author himself.Conclusion:A short fantasy tale that could be interpreted as a side-adventure to the author's new "The Abiter Codex" series.An entertaining, concise and enjoyable read.As it is... 5 Stars.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com
