Define Heroes: A Lore of the Reluctant Short Story Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

A standalone short story in the Lore of the Reluctant fantasy series!

Acys, Jasper, and Kalen are three friends from our world who woke up one day to find themselves in a fantastical realm of swords and sorcery. But it's been a few years... Now they're bored.

In this adventure, the trio of sellswords have run out of money in an eastern kingdom that is enjoying an era of lasting peace. In their bid to avoid skipping out on another bill, and to put a little extra money in their pockets besides, they might just end up committing regicide and plunging the entire kingdom into civil war.

The Lore of the Reluctant series:

  • The Outcasts of Vampire Flats

  • Blades in Elsingr

  • "Define Heroes"

  • Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2020
    This was a really fun short story to read. It switches back and forth between the characters telling a story and the actual events that occurred, and there are definitely discrepancies between the two which leads to a lot of laughs. The characters are quite cool and the book packs in a lot of action! Definitely worth the read if you're a fan of fantasy or Dungeons and Dragons.
