That title should cull the herd a bit...
Join Prince Daniel of Asulon as he introduces some old-fashioned heroism to the exotic land of Eretzel, joined by giants, a dwarf, a cynical swordsman, and an ancient miracle-worker. But he faces mysterious and evil forces beyond imagining, even beyond death itself.
Your guide on the trip is William McGrath, who clearly likes to research. (Yes, you may learn something. Quit whining! Knowledge can build character.) When he makes an aside about weapons, fighting, architecture, religion, whatever, he has studied it thoroughly. He weaves mythic threads as adroitly as Tolkien or Rowling, and he also tips a few sacred cows in the process.
My only warning is that you should read Asulon first. You can figure out what's going on without it, but it's easier and better to begin at the beginning.
