Publisher's Synopsis
Firion is a young merchant descended from generations of merchants. His first big break comes along when he sets out to trade with the wealthy dwarven kingdom of Oria. He has always dreamed of visiting this grand kingdom, having heard his father describe it in detail a hundred times while he was younger. But when Firion arrives in Oria, he is jarred by the details present that contradict with the image etched into his mind.
Something dark and sinister seems to be afoot in Oria, but Firion knows he is no hero. He is just a simple merchant, and what can an ordinary person do in the face of danger and deception?
A Merchant in Oria, the feature tale in this collection, follows a reluctant hero as he gets swept upon a journey he didn't seek. That and more can be found within these pages. Thirteen tales, each unique - sharing the bond of author. Rooted in science fiction and fantasy, with several tales paying homage to Arthurian legend and Medieval roots, the stories you will read are as varied as the interests of the author.
