"Still early on but really interested to see where this will go.

We follow one of the 9 heroes, Alf, who defeated a great evil and save the world about 22 years ago. Through his perspective you get to see what happened after to the heroes and how the world changed. Plus, we have sentient sword lol"

Mark  Lawrence
“A book is as dangerous as any journey you might take. The person who closes the back cover may not be the same one that opened the front one. Treat them with respect.”
Mark Lawrence, Red Sister

Stephen  King
“We never know which lives we influence, or when, or why.”
Stephen King, 11/22/63

Leo Tolstoy
“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
Leo Tolstoy , Anna Karenina

Nicholas Eames
“But what does a mirror know? What can it show us of ourselves? Oh, it might reveal a few scars, and perhaps a glimpse—there, in the eyes—of our true nature. The spirit beneath the skin. Yet the deepest scars are often hidden, and though a mirror might reveal our weakness, it reflects only a fraction of our strength.”
Nicholas Eames, Kings of the Wyld

Joe  Hill
“The people in charge can always justify doing terrible things in the name of the greater good. A slaughter here, a little torture there. It becomes moral to do things that would be immoral if an ordinary individual did ’em.”
Joe Hill, The Fireman
