What readers are saying:

"When good and evil inhabit a body, what side wins? Tower of the Deep Vol 1: The Prisoner and the Traitor by H. M. Richardson was a captivating novel that explored loyalty, love, and morality. It was indeed thought-provoking. I loved the excellent plot and unique storyline. The story was realistic, and people whose kin are in powerful positions can relate to it. When a person is so powerful that their decisions affect others, how do we step in as their kin? At what point do we shed familial loyalty for moral uprightness, even to theirs and our detriment? I was never short of questions as I read this novel. The character development and writing style were perfect, and I must commend the flawless editing. I enjoyed Nik’s innocent yet witty personality. What will Arcmas do when he wakes up? I want more!"

"I was delighted to read the second volume of the Tower of the Deep series, titled The Winged Warrior, by Heidi Richardson. The action, unpredictability, depth, adventure, suspense, bravery, mystery, deception, manipulation, and more kept me on the edge of my seat. In this book, I saw firsthand the battle between familial bond and loyalty to the oath of military service. General Tai and Arcmas walked the tightrope of choice when their daughter and sister led the enemy camp in defying them. Would you uphold an oath or obey a military command at the expense of your kin’s wellbeing? I loved the brilliant plot and development of this book. Heidi covered all the bases, and my absolute favorites were Laria, Brinkle, Nik, and Hennelyn. They were courageous, kind, and resourceful. Will there be retribution from the Emperor? Thumbs up to Heidi!"
