Monsters

No fantasy story would be complete without some monsters to challenge the hero, and the series has a few horrendous critters that will thrill and terrorize readers.

While these creatures all serve vital roles in the story, there aren’t as many monsters or fantastic enemies as are found in many other fantasy stories. Shannon chose to write the story without including other typical fantasy races (dwarves, elves, orcs, etc.) and without a legion of monsters, because The Heretic's Quest is a story about humanity, the good we can do, and the evil we can create.

Therefore, most of the antagonists are human, or once were, and once you’ve read the story, you’ll likely agree that these "bad guys" are monstrous enough to preclude any need for fantastic horrors. Just to be on the safe side, a few nasty ghosts, critters, and demons have been included for good measure.

No information concerning the beasties of the series will be posted here. Shannon wants to preserve a few secrets!
