The tale of the Minotaur and the Labyrinth as you’ve never heard it before!

Reaper has a gift for befriending unusual people, but the Minotaur of Cretia might be the strangest one of the bunch.

After his role in the fall of D’vo, Reaper sets off for the far-east in search of adventure and anonymity. The forests of the far continent are full of monsters and the decadent city-folk are more than willing to pay Reaper to clear them out. On one such quest, Reaper meets a monster on a quest of his own and, over a barrel or two of fine ale, the two become friends. The minotaur tells Reaper the tale of his stolen humanity and how, with his lover, he aims to win free of the machinations of a powerful wizard. Reaper immediately agrees to help, and thus begins a chaotic dance that leads them through the legendary labyrinth into a fight with an evil wizard. Escaping, they are beset upon by angry townsfolk, forced to negotiate with slumbering dragons, and face their own greatest fears.

If they fail, the entire world will fall to monsters created by unbridled chaos. If they succeed, they’ll be changed forever.

Reaper Hawk the Barbarian is the second book in the Lysandrian Tales series by author Ben Blackstump. It’s a stand-alone sword and sorcery novelette after the flavour of Conan the Barbarian, Thongor, and John Carter of Mars. If you like Robert E. Howard, Lin Carter, Michael Moorcock, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Steven Brust, then you’ll love Reaper Hawk the Barbarian. It’s a fast-paced sword and sorcery story full of duels and dark heroism and just a dash of irreverent humour.

Reaper Hawk the Barbarian was previously released as Reaper Hawk and the Minotaur.
