Once A Hero
Epic fantasy in Mike’s original universe!
Once A Hero was Mike’s first stand-alone fantasy novel. It is set in a fantasy world of his design which challenges one of the standard tropes in fantasy fiction: why would Elves—they of virtual immortality—ever truly be friends with Humans who have this Mayfly existence by comparison? They really wouldn’t, but this novel shows how and why Elves could no longer dismiss humanity as “oxen with thumbs.”
