The Chronicles of Tornor

The Chronicles of Tornor is a fantasy series by American lesbian 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]

gollark: Well, I mostly just want to be able to look up documents containing certain phrases/words.
gollark: There's also also spellfix, so with some work you can interface that with the FTS query thing and handle synonyms/misspelled words.
gollark: There's also a trigram tokenizer which lets you do LIKE very fast.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: SQLite also stores the position of tokens and has a stats table tracking frequency in all documents and such for better ranking.
