Forsyth Turn has become a hero-however reluctantly. He's married, has started a family in Pip's world, and his adventuring days are behind him. Yet all is not as it should be. Beloved novels are disappearing, not just from the minds of Readers, but from bookshelves as well. Almost as if they had never been. Almost like magic.
Forsyth fears that, because he's escaped his own pages, the fault lies with him. But when he and Pip are sucked back into The Tales of Kintyre Turn, they realize that something much more dire is happening. The stories are vanishing from Forsyth's world, too. Now they must set out on a desperate quest across Hain to discover how, and why, the stories are disappearing... before his world is next.
In this clever follow up, The Forgotten Tale asks questions about what it means to create a legacy, and what we owe those who come after us.
with J.M. Frey “ I love tales filled with unexpected narrators, meta fiction, and stories about stories. My characters always have rich internal lives, are usually social or politically active, and firm opinions they're not afraid to share. ”
