Twelve worlds, overwhelming odds, one chance two unlikely Hero's From the age of four months old, you're destined to become 'The Light-bearer', the ultimate... *yawn* 'boring boring boring Now that I have your attention, Hi I'm Hermit, the old fellow on that beautiful cover. Yes that's me picking my nose.' The author Winter is going to monologue you to tears with his synopsis, so I've hijacked this page to save you. Put simply Hogni and I have to save our earth, from a creature of such power, that just thinking about it makes me have to run and change my underwear, which reminds me...when was the last time I changed them...twenty, no thirty years? Anyway we have to travel to twelve alternate versions of our world, to obtain the means to re-imprison it, chances are though, we're going to die, and by die I mean horribly, in a lot of pain, limbs bent the wrong way, and more than a little of the 'red' stuff. All this danger and risk for a dance mat I may never live to receive. (you'll find out about that) this is the funniest action fantasy book you can read in two days. (Say goodbye to sleep) it has humor and fight scenes to die for (literally in our case). I don't appear in the book till page 50, but don't let that put you off, I'm going to be your favorite character, I have to get my pitch In, as Winter's been watching too much Game of thrones, and I don't want to end up as an early casualty.

Expect danger, expect adventure, expect action, expect the fantastical.. Just don't expect to put the book down "
