If that is the type of thing you are interested in, I really must recommend Lawrence Watt-Evans. One of his more recent books which fills your requirements rather well is Ithanalin's Restoration. It is in the same world (Ethshar) as a number of his other books, but is essentially stand-alone. -- Craig West Ph: (416) 666-1645 | It's not a bug, acwest-sig at craigwest.net | It's a feature...
