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.
