The Wizard's Sword

by Paul Vanderloos

The simple life of the erfin people is turned upside down when one curious erfin finds an old warrior's sword in the woods. The sword leads to a meeting with an otherworldly stranger and a mission to save all the worlds from an encroaching evil. Unlike any other fantasy book ever written. The Wizard's Sword introduces you to peoples and worlds never encountered before. Meet the erfins, the tree-dwelling faugs, the frustrating chattering petros; the gentle nature-loving Meretees island people; and the grotesque sorcerer and sorceress of the weird world of Hopocus. It is a journey of body, mind and spirit filled with magic and wonder.

Reviews

DNF, I read lot's of fantasy books and this was just uninteresting and a bit weird. After weeks of struggling with the story in between reading other (better) books, finally I just gave up. Not for me, sorry.

[Amos Fairchild]

With a level of creation far greater than anything I've read in quite a while, this is a perilous journey through several fully realized worlds packed with their own fearsome creatures, unique languages, and excruciatingly diverse cultures. Epic fantasy.

This is admittedly my own book. It is a fantastic journey of mind, body and spirit by the erfin Mirrortac who is set on a mission to save all the worlds from an encroaching 'darkness'.
