The Gnome in the Tapestry

G. A. Teske

They pulled their hair out and screamed. They waited for heaven’s mercy to fall upon them, or not fall upon them, depending on their point of view.

That was the typical response recorded nine hundred fifty years ago, when the moon fell upon the earth, opened up a huge fissure and released a great demon to plague the land.

Life was never the same. The gnomes disappeared deep into the mountains, and the beloved King Trellin just vanished. Civilization and magic slowly disintegrated.

Vincent, however, was convinced that the King was still alive somewhere. Joining him in his search was the elf, Kandlas, and a rare gnome, Khan.

They are not the only ones looking. The evil, master savant, Devout, joins the race to find the king. While Devout is tracking centuries-old clues, someone from his past is hunting him.

In their dash for salvation, revenge, and control; one holds tragedy, one holds desolation, and one holds the hope for the rebirth of their world. But which one is which?

"The Gnome in the Tapestry is a wonderful story of courage, friendship and adventure. Jerry Teske brings to life a vivid portrait of 3 young friends in their quest to find the last elf king. Creatures of fantasy, both good and evil, spring to life in this fast paced novel that is sure to thrill." – Hilary Hemingway, author of Dreamland and Dreamchild
