Janet Morris
Image
Niko, you're halfway to where you need to go. It's the most dangerous time. And all the gods and forces have a stake in you, Hero. Or do you want to be just a memory, a cult somewhere, with people sacrificing horses to your name?

If you want to write something completely unique, you will probably fail or at best write something without redeeming value.
