Hazen has had only one dream since childhood, one aspiration which informs his every action, his every breath: to be a hero, and slay the Dark Lord. He works towards his goal with discipline that impresses even his reluctant, yawning mentor Anders. He finds a mythical, sacred sword and gains strength beyond human imagining. But when it comes time to 'fulfill his destiny', things do not go according to plan. Read this comical, sentimental, and sometimes dark tale of a wannabe Hero trying to find a new purpose in life and explore the uncharted waters of life beyond his dream, with the occasional help and hindrance of his grouchy teacher.
