Book Description
A factory worker becomes a hero in a mystical world of adventure and danger, in this fantasy trilogy from the New York Times–bestselling author. Gary Leger is desperate for adventure. Daydreaming and fantasy novels are his only escapes, and he spends much of his free time reading in the woods behind his house. That’s when adventure finds him. Or rather, that’s when he’s hit with a tranquilizer arrow . . . When Gary comes to, he discovers he’s traveled to the land of Faerie, a world populated by creatures from his fantasy novels—and they need his help. Only Gary can wear the enchanted armor that will allow him to wield a magic spear. In a series of adventures, Gary will team up with a trouble-making leprechaun, an aloof elf, a surly dwarf, and more. Together they must face off against a fearsome witch, a deadly dragon, an army, and a wicked king to restore peace to the kingdom. Praise for the Spearwielder’s Tale “The book’s fast-paced, good-humored nature draws the reader in and makes the world of Faerie a fine place to visit.” —SF Site on The Woods Out Back “Gary has a lively time of it in Faerie, which Salvatore recaptures with verve and wit and many nice touches. . . . A classic tale.” —Booklist on The Dragon’s Dagger

Pages : 902
Book Description
Some Stories Pass Into Legends The cosmos stands on the precipice of something great, something grand; something terrible. In a secluded forest, a man garbed in black knows this, and does nothing; he does not care. Many find themselves there, in that place where legends go to die; they, like he, are alone. He, unlike they, has had everything ripped from him. In a dark and warm place, there is a woman with hair red as blood, who does nothing; she has no idea how to. She is like everyone else: unknown, in danger, and hopeless; merely another forgotten legend who doesn't even remember herself.This is the story of Mister E, of his triumphs and tribulations. This is the story of Scarlett, of her pain and her joy. This is a tale of dead legends, and of how they are not content to remain forgotten, on the edge of the existence. A great unraveling of the cosmos is about to begin, and these ghosts of myths and fables are about to be swept up in a scheme too large to fathom, but they will not submit peacefully.In "Legend Land," things are not black and white; there are no heroes and villains. It is a murky, grey mess where the lines between "good" and "evil" are thin and barely exist. Follow the story of several long forgotten legends as they rediscover what it means to be human, to feel, in a world where having a conscience or dropping your guard can earn you permanent erasure from the fabric of reality. Follow these characters as they decide when to become the hero, or embrace being a villain; as they decide where to draw the line, and when to obliterate it completely.

Book Description
This book is free out of respect for your right not to like the story. The Guardian Lineage, which has managed to survive since the time of King Jehoshaphat and become a secret organisation within the United Nations, has begun to question its purpose under the leadership of Darius Bratt. Was it really to prevent the evil that lurked underground from rising to the surface? In the end, they decided to send the seven youths they had chosen, following the descriptions in the ancient inscriptions, through a now-forgotten door. All they had to do was explore underground for twenty-four hours and bring back information. At the end of the time, however, none of the explorers managed to return. While the members of the Guardian Lineage struggled with the difficult decisions they had to make, the seven young people found themselves in the middle of a battle that had been going on for hundreds of years and had been forgotten by mankind. In order to see the light of day again, they had to fulfil their new mission among the Guards, the Guardian, the Shadowless, the Jewels, the Two-Faced Warriors, the Whippers and, of course, the Ancient Sorcerers, albeit unintentionally. Time, which had stood still for centuries, began to work against humanity once again. Excerpts from reviews on the Google Play Store, in the original language. - I think the author likes excitement, action and making events impossible to solve. He doesn't give you a chance to clear up the mystery until the last page. Congratulations. It's worth being a film. - Not like reading a book, but like watching a film. It really deserves to be a film. You'll enjoy it very much. - It deserves to be read, with its never-ending excitement, action, battles, intelligent and ingenious fiction. It's well worth your time. - The language is fluent and simple, the subject matter is interesting, the action is plentiful, and the suspense and curiosity remain until the very end. If you are looking for a novel without dragons, flying horses and elves, you should definitely read it. - I'm not used to coming across really clever, subtle fiction in fantasy. To do that in the real world without losing the fantastical atmosphere, especially with ordinary people, but to give them as much fantastical meaning as fictional characters, is a unique skill that only first class fantasy writers have achieved.
