The Unsung Hero by Jack T Canis

A novelette of sword and sorcery, a warband of dwarves are corrected in their erroneous understanding of one of their greatest legends by the legend himself and his companion from the myth. The Siege of Telemarqe had been known as a dwarven battle of heroics against the might of a Dark Elven army. But the truth was very different, will the warband accept the truth? ‘The Siege of Telemarqe is the last great legend in living memory for the dwarves, where a small, brave band of dwarven warriors, led by Stenchorn the Smelter, held the might of the Dark Elven army at bay until their eventual rout. ‘Or was it? Truth is stranger than fiction & the dwarves are in for a shock when their own hero Stenchorn gainsays the history books. Is the proud dwarven nation ready for the truth?’

4* from me
A wonderful story which, despite the fantasy setting, could easily be an examination of real-world history and the way in which the largest party amongst the victors of a battle or war claim the glory, regardless of the truth. In this case, an encounter in a bar leads to a retelling of an historic battle and the revelation of who the true hero of The Battle of Telemarque is. Told wonderfully by the two people who were there, the acknowledged hero and the true, Unsung Hero, they enrapture a party of dwarves, whose rendition of the battle sparks the truth.
5* from JourneyBleu
A novelette with a tale worth telling: the TRUE story behind one of the most famous of dwarves legends. Gathered together in a wintry land in a storied bar, who is the stranger among them? How will his friend’s narrative challenge the very lore of the dwarves? In rich prose – evocative and fantastic, Jack Canis weaves a legendary story for all time.
