A short story collection full of magical, bittersweet, and heroic stories. Written by author Lilah Lyons.
From the mind of Lilah Lyons, The Failed Hero and Other Short Stories murmurs of love and loss, mystery and magic, with all these elements coming together in the final story, "The Failed Hero." When a half-dead boy shows up at his doorstep, a reclusive old man is forced to confront his past. Both have felt loss, and both harbor secrets. But soon, the boy must continue his journey, and the man must learn to live without him in this tale of regret, providence, and the resounding anthem of the human spirit.
