"Child of Fate" is the first entry in prolific Jason Halstead's "Blades of Leander" series, although apparently these characters have been brewing in the author's mind for over two decades. It is a fun romp through a world populated by goblins, ogres, dwarves and few creatures that you won't find in any other fantasy novel.The hero is Alto, of the Blades of Leander--well, he's a trainee anyway. The Blades are the nice kind of mercenary band, which slays goblins and rescues princesses. However, the adventure in which Alto and his friends become entangled has consequences far bigger than their haul of gold.Buy if you like Tolkien, Redwall or D&D;.
