In Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle, Matthew Stover created a new kind of fantasy novel, and a new kind of hero to go with it: Caine, a street thug turned superstar, battling in a future where reality shows take place in another dimension, on a world where magic exists and gods are up close and personal. In that beautiful, savage land, Caine is an assassin without peer, a living legend born from one of the highest-rated reality shows ever made. That season, Caine almost single-handedly defeated-and all but exterminated-the fiercest of all tribes: the Black Knives. But the shocking truth of what really took place during that blood-drenched adventure has never been revealed . . . until now.
Thirty years later, Caine returns to the scene of his greatest triumph-some would say greatest crime-at the request of his adopted brother Orbek, the last of the true Black Knives. But where Caine goes, danger follows, and he soon finds himself back in familiar territory: fighting for his life against impossible odds, with the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance.
Just the way Caine likes it.

Howard's mighty Cimmerian laid down his sword." -Christopher Rowley, author of the Bazil Broketail series, on Heroes Die "Blends science, magic, and martial arts into an action-packed tale of adventure and heroism." -Library Journal, on Blade of Tyshalle

"Marvelous . . . Day of the Jackal meets Lord of the Rings." -Simon R. Green, author of The Unnatural Inquirer, on Heroes Die
