Watchtower is a fantasy novel by American writer Elizabeth A. Lynn published in 1979.
Watchtower is the first novel in the Tomor Keep trilogy, in which a young lord must reclaim his birthright from invaders. [1]
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]
