A person who can fly is an Armiger.įor those who are "Gamers" in the sense of playing table-top role-playing games such as the classic Dungeons and Dragons, I have a feeling that you would enjoy this series immensely. A person who is a telepath, for instance, is called a Demon. And there are rules!īy the word "Talents," one could also say things such as "supernatural powers," each one, or each mix of several earning the person who wields them a title, as well as a formal dress they are expected to wear. There are always those "gaming" against one another, plotting, planning, fighting even in an underhanded fashion. "The True Game" is mainly fantasy set in a medieval-style world, with some surprising sci-fi elements thrown in as we follow Peter, a young man in his adolescence, growing both in age and experience to find out what his "talent" is in a world where everything is a "game" and those with any ability to survive have "talents."īy the word "Game," one could say "battle" or "fight" instead. I enjoyed the books so much that, when they were stolen (my ex-husband's car was stolen with all of my Tepper books in a box inside), I forked out the extra money to replace them, as well as purchase more. I have to say that I am biased towards these novels as that purchased " King's Blood Four" back when it was first released, and at that time I was still both a young-ish reader (14-years-old), and a young writer. Tepper's first three novels "King's Blood Four," "Necromancer Nine," and "Wizard's Eleven," all released from 1984 through 1985, and the first part of what became a nine-novel set the other two belonging to the "Mavin the Manyshaped" trilogy, and the "Jinian" trilogy. "The True Game" is a compilation of Sheri S.
