Hector
Reborn
Volume I:
Death & Life
Prince Hector, the greatest defending warrior in the epic Trojan War, is brutally slain by his nemesis Achilles... And finds himself reborn in an astounding new realm.
Traumatised by separation from his family, nation and world, Hector finds it hard to accept the prospect of a new life. His rigid codes of honour and loyalty make him feel as if he has abandoned his war-ravaged home. The beautiful Elsha of the Nemalite people, introduces him to an Elysium of kindness, harmony and magic, where living gods can walk among mortals. The Trojan Prince is enraptured by his new friend and the apparent miracles around him, and at first believes this world is perfect. He gradually learns of a grotesque force which holds the Nemalites under a thrall of fear and hopelessness. Hector cannot stand by and watch the horrors around him – he acts to save his new friends...
But the result of his efforts is not peace, rather the unleashing of a menace that plunges Elysium into hellish turmoil. Guilty of the murder of innocents and hated by his companions, Hector fights to curtail the disaster he has caused. Against him stands an army of Shaltine – supernatural warriors which exude an aura of Fear, rendering all opponents helpless. Countless lives, both on Elysium and back on Hector’s home world, are threatened by a fate far worse than death. And amid all the chaos, desperation and destruction, there awaits a malevolent revelation for Hector...
Something so awful it may destroy Hector’s sanity before it takes his life.
Hector Reborn Volume II: Retribution
After being slain in the epic Trojan War, Prince Hector found himself reborn on an extraordinary new world. He befriended the Nemalite people, lived among them, met their Viron gods... and set out to save the Nemalites from the vicious threat of the Atlans...
But everything since his rebirth had been lies and manipulations. His attack upon the Atlans plunged those innocents into hellish turmoil and condemned many to a fate far crueller than death.
Now Hector fights alongside the surviving Atlans in an effort to undo the terrible harm he has unleashed. Despite the Atlans hating and condemning him, he teaches them how to fight the Nemalites’ Shaltine warriors and gains the trust of the Atlan queen Nafron. However, a disastrous battle seems to shatter the Atlans’ hopes – leaving Hector and Nafron hunted by hundreds of their enemies...
Hector’s Atlan comrades foresee their own defeat, followed by the conquest of Hector’s world. They are outnumbered, outmatched and demoralised. How can they overcome:
​
The Nemalites, who can forge armies with magic...
The Shaltine – giant, fearless, tireless automatons...
The Viron, the malevolent living gods of the Nemalites, deep beneath the impenetrable city of Vir...
And, worst of all, the resurrected Achilles – the monstrous Greek warrior who brutally slaughtered Hector in the Trojan War..?
Hector has learned of the genocide of his own people at Troy. He is determined to prevent such an atrocity being committed upon the Atlans and across his own world. His strength comes from a burning desire for retribution. There is no sacrifice he will not make and no torment he will not endure, in order to succeed...
Can he possibly save two worlds?
This volume concludes the saga of Hector Reborn.
