"Vengeance and Valor" by Donald White is a gritty tale of battle between elf and man, in which the bravery is uncommon and the heroes unexpected. Seven men await their fate in the depths of a cave. Slanted green eyes menace them from outer darkness. The stage is set for a final confrontation. Who will stand and who will fall?

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written piece of fantasy art, February 9, 2013 This review is from: Vengeance and Valor (Kindle Edition)
I don't read fantasy usually but this story was fun and easy to read. Some excellent descriptive passages and great characterization for a short work made this an enjoyable and imaginative reading experience. The battle sequences are vibrant and believable and invoked comparisons with some other great fantasy stories I have read by Tolkien and George R Martin. I have also read and enjoyed Donald White's 'Lady Killer' which is equally well-written although in the genre of Horror. Great work, I look forward to the next story White has to offer.
