Scottish Author Publishes Debut Fantasy Novel

From Within, a new book by B.M. Stott, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The town of Gardall is set in a land far away. A land where elves and humans exist together. A land where dragons are also said to live and breathe. Here a small group ventures out to protect the town from attack by trolls, a menacing bunch that attempts to advance from the moors.
Calira, Bronwyn, Zye, and Kriso, held in high regard by the folk in Gardall, work to make the land a peaceful place to live.
Most individuals here have a tether to the land, an ability or abilities that they discover as they age, and all show tolerance and respect to others in a way that they themselves would like others to respect them. Together, the four are formidable in battle, even without their own personal abilities.
When a well-kept man with oily hair and a moustache approaches Zye with a request for his help, he offers Zye a chance to turn a wish into reality. But is this stranger's promise too good to be true, changing Gardall's group of four forever?
A story of fantasy, intrigue, and love, From Within is about living life with truth and honesty, respecting others and all things, and recognizing the power of Karma.
