Not James

Not James #1

by Torion Oey

King James has a doppelganger.

A relatively peaceful time has come and gone in the country of Lanmar. Trouble mounts when King James hears news of the arrival of his double, a vagabond thief traveling with a half-giant companion. With fears of a coup, a class war, and a race war on the horizon, he orders the immediate elimination of the spark that could cause it all. Now guards, magicians, and thieves alike are out in numbers in search for the man who calls himself Not James.

Reviews

[Pat]

This is a rollicking fun tale of magic and swordfighting, filled with humor and worthy themes...

But don't stop with my review; Kirkus calls it "a wild, magical tale that will likely have readers eager for a sequel" and "a joy to read." https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-re...

Read it, enjoy it, and pass it on!
