A princess and a stableboy? It sounds like the worst sort of hackneyed formula romance. Think again, for A MAN OF HIS WORD may well be the most original fantasy you ever read. The magic is unique and applied in unexpected ways, some of which the late Lester del Rey admitted he had not met in fifty years as writer and editor.

🌞 From the Publisher
I don't read a lot of fantasy, but I loved this series for its liveliness, its likable and easy-to-believe-in main character, Rap, and its take on magic. The cultures and regions we explore as we go on Rap's adventures are well developed and vivid, and Duncan has a fluid writing style that I really enjoy.
