In the Eye of Heaven (2006)

Details Release Date: Apr 04, 2006; Writer: David Kreck; Genres: Fiction, Sci-fi and Fantasy; Publisher: Tor Books

When young Durand loses a chance to inherit a village, he travels across an enchanted world as a knight-errant, dodging a villainous lord's scheming.

Culture Clash
Durand is assailed by living corpses possessed by lost souls. Can you say zombies?

Genre Mash
Straight Arthurian mythology, though a prophetic spirit named the Traveler recalls The Lord of the Rings' walking trees.

Lowdown
Though breaking no new ground, Keck creates fantastical drama from solid formula.
