Hero Slayers

When a Hero goes bad, it's up to a thief to stop him, in this big-hearted and witty fantasy adventure that's perfect for fans of role-playing games. Working-class thief Styk thought heroes were to be admired. Then one tried to kill him, and the attempt on his life left the town of Plainside burned to the ground, hundreds dead. Given a chance at a new life by a mysterious stolen artifact, Styk sets his sights on justice. OK, more like revenge. But if he's going to take down a near-immortal adversary, Styk will need two things: a decent team and a damn good plan. When he stumbles across the dysfunctional Hero Slayers-a team comprised of a brazen sorcerer, a vain elf, an old orcish warrior, and a barbarian with a heart of gold-the battle is on. While Styk levels up new skill trees, he and his crew track down their powerful enemy, facing cultists, monsters, and much, much worse along the way. But what is it that a Hero would kill for? And might it have something to do with the enigmatic artifact burning a hole in Styk's pocket?

One Player down, a whole Council still to go . . . The real fight is only just beginning in the second installment of this thrilling fantasy adventure. It's no secret that Styk longs to be a hero, with blazing daggers in hand and throngs of admirers at his feet. What is a secret is that he has the blood of Players coursing through his veins. Yes, the very enemies he despises and has vowed to slay. For now, there's no need for Styk's loyal team to know this; they all have bigger fish to fry. Because when Corminar's fellow exiled elves demand he pay his debt, it sends the adventurers on a new quest. Across the Iron Sea, they encounter shifting shadows, ancient witchcraft, and-worst of all-faces from their buried pasts. And when the members of the Council reveal themselves once more, the greatest threat to Styk may be the demons of his own diabolical ancestry. It's enough for his aspirations to go catastrophically, game-changingly wrong . . . or prove himself the hero he knows he's meant to be.

When their latest hunt reveals a world-threatening infestation, the Slayers are forced to team up with their rivals, in the third book of this fantasy adventure. Few cities are as beautiful as Westbara, so it's a pity that Styk, Corminar, and Lore aren't just there to see the sights. Rather, they're on a mission to take down a celebrated Player called the Councilman. But they'll soon discover they aren't alone in targeting this allegedly esteemed member of the Council . . . The Slayers join forces with a team known only as the Trio, consisting of an imposing gentleman warrior, a woman who wields metal magic, and a worldbender with abilities to rival Styk's. Together they find themselves on the scent of a wider plot: a malae infestation that threatens the western lands. Soon, what was once a simple operation to take out a Player becomes a fight for survival. They'll have to act fast to stop this monstrous, ever-escalating corruption before another land falls to evil.
