"A new take on high fantasy that will have you gasping with horror and surprise at every turn." – Wendy Callahan, Fantasy Author "Eaton takes the reader on a wild ride…the combat scenes stood out in particular for me because they reminded me of R.A. Salvatore." – The Pocket Geek "A must read for any Fantasy fan… I laughed out loud, and even read a few parts peering out from between my fingers." – Ender, Book Reviewer Overview of The Hero Always The knight's oath is barely off Darcy's tongue, and already the world is collapsing around him. As the demon hordes of Angra-Jyn slaughter their way toward the city, betrayal amongst the knights' own ranks threatens to destroy them before they can even make their stand. But the blood of a hero flows in Darcy's veins. He will not be discouraged by the war he is losing. He will not be dissuaded by the traitorous assassin who continues to strike in the night. He will not give up, even as friends start to doubt him and sanity begins to slip beyond his grasp. Why? Because victory is his destiny. Because he is the hero, and the hero always wins.

The last stronghold in the east has fallen, burned to ash by the demon hordes of Angra-Jyn. Those who survived the slaughter – the women and children – find themselves in chains. Corralled deep within the demon’s fortress, dreams of escape wither under their masters’ flogs. Death seems the only relief from a life of slavery beneath the scorching sun. The only hope rests in the young Champion and the tiny band of knights who still resist the demon’s wrath. Still licking their wounds after a brutal defeat, the knights know they must rally quickly if they are to survive. Insecurity and hopelessness threaten to tear them apart, but where blade and magic fail them, love pushes them blindly on. Will it save them, or lead them to destruction?
