    About this series

    This fantasy by the author of the Seventh Sword series offers “a madcap mix of outrageous prose and superlative wit” (Times-Colonist, Victoria B.C.).
     
    Omar is the finest storyteller the world has ever known, captivating audiences everywhere, from the fires of soldier camps to the plush residences of nobility. In times of turmoil, people can still appreciate a good tale that offers respite from their troubles. But as hordes of barbarian soldiers surround the unvanquished city of Zanadon after ravaging the surrounding countryside, few things are certain any longer. Omar has been guided to the city by prophetic dreams, yet finds himself in an increasingly dangerous situation as the people grow more desperate and the gift of a glib tongue turns into a curse.

      First seen in The Reaver Road—“a fun, very readable fantasy with agreeable, intelligent characters”—Omar the Storyteller returns (Metaphorosis Reviews). Omar often gets into trouble as a result of his role as the world's greatest storyteller. The wrong tale told at the wrong time to the wrong audience could prove fatal. When a slighted innkeeper threatens to kill Omar by tossing him out into the vicious storm that rages just outside the door, Omar has the chance to redeem himself by using his gift. If he can top the most outrageous tales invents by the inn's guests, he may get away with his neck intact. Soon, Omar not only tells a series of stories that would astonish the most gifted bard, but also corrects the errors of the others and weaves everything together into one absolutely compelling tale of adventure.
