H is for Halitor the Hero
In a Nutshell: Halitor is a hero-in-training who has a terrible tendency to be klutzy.Biggest Secret: He is scared to death of girls, known to him as Fair Maidens. They make him especially clumsy.
Favorite line: "The Hero's Guide to Battles, Rescues, and the Slaying of Monsters say so." Doesn't matter what's going on, Halitor expects it to match the instructions in his textbook.
A Fair Maiden who breaks all the rules. A Hero who fails everything
by the book. It'll be the adventure of a lifetime...if they live past
breakfast!
Publisher's Blurb: Halitor has failed at
every apprenticeship under the Ice Castle. He figures it’s his last
chance when his parents foist him on Bovrell the Bold as an apprentice
Hero, and he pores eagerly over the Hero’s Guide to Battles, Rescues and
the Slaying of Monsters. But Halitor infuriates his master when he
drops his sword and gets rattled around Fair Maidens. When his master
abandons him at an inn in Loria, Halitor is ready to give up and just be
a kitchen boy. But Melly, the young kitchen wench, has other ideas. She
wants to go find her father, and soon the two are battling monsters and
worse on a wild journey to her home. Before they are done, Halitor has
learned more than just how to be a Hero.

Following the suggestion of fellow blogger and amazing author Jemima Pett, I'm doing a very simple A to Z with characters from my writing and the books of my author friends! I'm just posting a brief profile, sometimes a quote, and the book cover with links. Though you may also see some of my typical reviews (when I feature other peoples’ books) and the usual Friday Flash Fiction.
Oh fair maidens are terrifying :) And good for Melly!

Watch for my "M" post to learn more about Melly! She's definitely an equal partner with Halitor in this adventure.
