Overview

23-year-old Anthony has returned to university in Edinburgh for a new life and a fresh start. He suffers from an extreme form of synaesthesia, a rare condition that causes him to see sounds as colour. For him, simple tasks have become a burden and daily life a constant challenge.

After finding a cryptic clue, Anthony discovers that the colours he sees can be used to manipulate the world around him. He and his friends are torn from this world and thrown into Alloria, the world of the Fèja. Together they discover the extent of his true power and set off on a quest to save their friend and Alloria from darkness.

In this tale of destiny and betrayal, Anthony must use his powers to forge the ultimate weapon against those who are determined to destroy him and everything he thought he knew.

About the Author

"Debut novelist Ryan Watson has been writing for as long as he can remember, "It's something I've always loved and always wanted to do." At 21, Tales of Alloria: The Storm is his first published work. What started as a simple discussion with an old friend turned into the biggest achievement of his career so far. The novel is based on a 23 year old called Anthony. He's just returned to his hometown of Edinburgh, about to start university, but there's something different about him. Anthony suffers from an extreme form of synaesthesia - the ability to see sounds as colours. It's a daily struggle that becomes a unique power that he must harness in order to save himself and his friends from the powers of darkness.

Tales of Alloria: The Storm is a fast-paced, on-the-edge-of-your-seat fantasy/thriller, much like the Hunger Games or City of Bones but with a unique twist to the main character that only a true storyteller could have created. But it seems this is something that came naturally to Ryan, "The overload of images in my head and words in my head. They had to go somewhere, and writing them out was gratifying."

The story just seemed to be there and once Ryan started, it was hard to stop, "The story and the characters write themselves... I have no control over it." There's even another three books planned for the series. Not bad for an unsigned talent of just 21."
