Tales of Omar — Dave Duncan

A traveling storyteller journeys into misadventures in this complete humorous fantasy series by the author of the Seventh Sword series.

The Reaver Road

Omar is the world's greatest storyteller, captivating audiences everywhere, from the fires of soldier camps to the plush residences of nobility. Prophetic dreams have now guided him to the city of Zanadon, unfortunately now surrounded by bloodthirsty barbarian hordes. Normally in times of turmoil, people appreciate a good tale, but as his surroundings become more hostile, he finds his gift of a glib tongue to be a bit of a curse . . . 

The Hunters' Haunt

As a blizzard beats down on a mountain inn, a slighted innkeeper threatens to toss Omar out to his death in the cold. But he's given a chance to redeem himself by using his gift. If he can top the most outrageous tales invented by the inn's guests, he can stay warm. Soon, Omar creates a tale intertwining the lives of all those inside the inn, spinning relentlessly toward a single conclusion no one could have foretold . . .
