Some of the best artists are the ones that are creating something new that no one has thought of before. Let’s talk to one now! Gabriel Valentin, the writer of Digital Lizards of Doom, possesses long standing passions for composition and storytelling.

Synopsis: Beth is a warrior-woman born in anger and forged in rage. She and her blind aide Quido have traveled to the wicked city of Shadrivar, in search of the evil witch Anis-Amuun. Many think that she is long dead, but a mage called Estevan believes otherwise. He charges Beth with a quest to destroy the witch, initiating a sea-spanning quest which pits Beth's curved blade against all manner of mystical creatures - and possibly Anis-Amuun herself!
