When the Age of Magic comes to an end, then the First Men shall return. In a land of fading magic, a single man must stand against the evil Trytor and avenge the terrible wrong that he has suffered. Lord Richard would never be anyone's first idea of a hero. He's too old; he's too settled; in all honesty, he's too plump. But someone must make the stand. With the aid of a Giant who would rather be sitting in a tavern, and a sword he dare not touch, he must strike down the last of these demonic creatures and free a land from their tyranny. Should he fail, what will become of mankind, in a world of diminished Elvenfolk and uncaring Giants? In a world where magic comes at an awful price, and man is the least of all the talking creatures, he simply cannot fail. If you like your Fantasy full of rich characters, treachery, action and humour, you should get hold of the first book in the Misthaven Trilogy today.
