When young Mītăk witnesses the kidnapping of Princess Kitfīr, by the sorcerer Ăzmadüs, he becomes swept up in an adventure that will unlock the dark secrets of his true heritage, pitting him against a relentlessly-vengeful knight, a lonely Sphinx, and his own better judgment, as he finds himself falling in love with the sorcerer’s seductive spy, Mĕl Märra.
“A boy, a sword, a princess, and a Drăgōn—In other words, a must-read for anyone who loves epic tales about Ĕlves and Dwärves, wizards and magic... or just a good, old-fashion, courtly love story.”

Rüneglaive: Sword of Heroes is the first in a series of fantasy novels akin to the works of the master J.R.R. Tolkien and his subsequent followers, such as Terry Brooks, Dennis L. McKiernan, and George R. R. Martin. Rich with Ĕlf lore, thorough histories, complex languages, ancient genealogies, and detailed maps, this trilogy of myth and romance follows a young hero, Mītăk, whose ambitious desire for adventure and swordplay pulls him into a vortex of battling wizards, High Ĕlf & Ōgre armies, princes, princesses, mighty kings, ancient catacombs, and even a fiery Drăgōn.
