The Left Handed Sword
This is not your typical fantasy world.
There is no magic and there are no horses.
If you get into a fight and start muttering words and waving your arms around you are going to get an ax right in the face. And if you want to get somewhere you better start walking.
It's a dangerous world where nothing, and no one, can be trusted - including what you think you are seeing with your own two eyes.
It all starts when our "hero" lying in the mud on the bank of an unknown river opens one eye and has to make the decision to either give up or not to give up.
Adventure? No.
Ordeal? Yes.
There are only two ways a man can be stopped; by death or by his own giving up.
The biggest enemy is the one that lies within. Available on Amazon here
