The Hero's Brother

It¿s hard enough being barely above average, when your brothers include the deadliest swordsman of the realm, a saint, prodigiesamp;mdash;and the greatest hero of the Middle Ages. But what if you haven¿t seen your Queen of Love in years, and she's imprisoned by a one-armed religious zealot and lethal librarians? Even worse, your only allies are vicious killers, with rather bad manners and outsized appetites. Who all want to murder your heroic brother.

The resultamp;mdash;in a world of pedantic misrule, feckless magic, and courage both dauntless and dauntedamp;mdash;is either High Adventure or an Identity Crisis. Or both.
