In the first book of Tales of Arvia, unassuming human Darin yearns with every fiber of his being to be that grand hero from countless books and games. When given the chance for a one-way trip to the fantastical world of Arvia, he quickly realizes he’s terrible at it. Yet the qualities he’s always undervalued—quick-wittedness and empathy—save his life when he encounters the ferocious harpy Rinloh.
After a rough start, they form an unlikely friendship, a friendship strained by the fact that the human citizens of the city of Xin consider consorting with a giant predator a capital offense, while the harpies consider the human citizens a tasty part of a balanced diet, with the human hunt a harpy rite of passage.
Yet the two must overcome the most monstrous of conspiracies as the citizens of Darin’s new home city begin disappearing, and the list of suspected causes could fill an encyclopedia.
Harpyness is Only Skin Deep is about friendships that defy all odds, laughing at the absurdities of life, and seeing the good in the worst monster in the realm.
A fantasy novel for adult readers.
