The Woods Out Back
IF THE ARMOR FITS...
Gary Leger thought life after college would bring great things.
Instead, he's stuck in a dead-end job and finding that the real world
isn't all it's cracked up to be.
But when he walks into the woods behind his house one day, Gary finds a
world beyond the "real world" – a realm of elfs and dwarfs and witches
and dragons. There he discovers that he is the only one who can wear
the armor of the land's lost hero – and wield a magical spear.
And if he doesn't, he can never go home again...

R. A. Salvatore
In a genre known for sprawling maps and ancient prophecies, R. A. Salvatore carved his legacy not just through epic battles, but by giving his heroes a soul.
Long before fantasy became mainstream, Salvatore introduced readers to Drizzt Do’Urden—a dark elf torn between the violent culture he was born into and the moral code he chose to follow. This inner struggle, threaded through fast-paced combat and sweeping world-building, struck a nerve. Drizzt wasn’t just another sword-wielding adventurer; he was a philosophical outsider in a genre that rarely stopped to ask why.
