Once A Hero
By Michael A. Stackpole
A Legend Come to Life
Half a millenium ago Neal Elfward, a legendary
human warrior, fought alongside his Elven friend Aarundel for the
freedom of mankind against the tyranny of the sorcerous Reithrese
empire. But Neal's victory began a genocidal war that cost him
dearly.
Now the future he hoped for is unraveling.
Count Berengar has invited the lovely Genevera, Aarundel's
granddaughter, to join in a quest to bring stability to the land.
Pressed to accomplish the impossible, Genevera suggests the
unthinkable - raising Neal from the dead. But what is true in
legend is not always true in reality. A hero from yesteryear may
be a hero still, but is Neal the hero they want?
Once a Hero is a rousing adventure of mystery
and magic, in the best tradition of Robert Jordan and David
Eddings, by one of the most exciting and imaginative new voices
in fantasy fiction.

"MAGIC, ACTION,
ADVENTURE, ROMANCE... THIS BOOK HAS IT ALL!"
-Jennifer
Roberson
"A MAGNIFICENT
TALE! A PAGE TURNER."
-Dennis L.
McKiernan
"A great story! The legendary Neal and
his Elven sweetheart Gena come so alive on these pages that the
bank or supermarket down the block are the unrealities.
Spellbinding in its color and action, this is a tale that draws
you deep into its wild, wonderful world and makes you wish you
were actually a part of it."
-Hugh B. Cave
"Once a Hero is a richly
imagined tapestry woven of sword-steel and sparked with threads
of magic."
-Diana Gabaldon
An undeniably
intreguing tale...
