ABOUT
Brother Tod Pottersfield had a quiet, peaceful life as a lowly priest of the Black Church. Humble and pious, he had no desire to rise beyond his station nor to experience adventures.
But when a gang of temple raiders use him to loot the Church of valuable and dangerous artifacts, Tod is forced to go on a quest to recover them – a quest that grows more desperate by the day as the artifacts begin to spawn hideous monsters, dark powers, and hordes of undead!
Along the way, Tod discovers strength within himself, the burgeoning love of an attractive female thief, and the friendship of an unlikely magical outcast. Together the three of them set out to save the mysterious mechanical planet Gyre from certain – and terrible – destruction!
Gyre and The Turning City are written by Eve Forward and Bob Forward. They are sister and brother, and have worked together many times on animated series such as Legend of Zelda and Biker Mice from Mars. They have also each written and published novels, but this is the first time they have attempted to do one together.
It is their sincere hope that you enjoy the result.

I haven’t enjoyed a tale like this since “Villains By Necessity” (is this the same Eve Forward?). I am now caught up and the chapters can’t come fast enough!
Hi! Yep, same Eve Forward. Thanks very much! 🙂
Outstanding! I love that book!!!
Oh my gosh! Eve Forward! I am your biggest fan. I bought my own copy of Villains by Necessity and have been making everyone around me read it. As soon as I can I’m going to buy the Animist and Gyreworld too. Do you have any more books in the works?
Eve,
I’ve been trying to track down a way to get in touch with you and this is the best I have been able to come up with. I absolutely loved Villains by Necessity when I read it so many years ago. I have recommended it to many people over the years, but now I’m realizing how difficult it is to get ahold of a reasonably priced copy. Any suggestions? I’d love to obtain an ebook, or whatever so that I can reread it and pass it on to others. Thanks!
Is book 2 in the works?
Yes, but it will likely take a while.
Any updates on book 2 yet? I haven’t ask in a while, but I still check every so often.
