A distinguished compilation of two unforgettable fantasy novels, Soldier of the Mist and Soldier of Arete.
This omnibus is the story of Latro, a Roman mercenary who was fighting in Greece when he received a head injury that deprived him of his short term memory, but gave him in return the ability to see and converse with supernatural creatures, the gods and godesses. However, Latro forgets everything when he sleeps. He writes his experiences every day in his journal, reading his journal anew each morning, and giving him a tenuous hold on himself. His story's hold on readers is powerful indeed.
