Young ALEC ETH and his companions URU and ORORU are in a quest to avenge the genocide of their clan.They grew up in the wild highlands of the land of Goya. Young as they are, they are hard as nails. True survivors, they know how to live off the land. They can fashion their own weapons, and they can read nature like the River Peoples read maps and the river banks. Yet the trio of hunters has no idea of what they are getting into.Legend warns about the coming of the godlike SLAYERS, but none could know the stories to be true. Descending upon the people like birds of prey, the SLAYERS murder and pillage at will. None can stop their flying ships. None can stand up to their winged warriors. None but Alec Eth, that is, for he has seen them bleed.TIME OF HEROES will bring you to a time after the Great Sorrow and the rebirth of the Land of Goya, when the Race of Man was young again, and the world teemed with life and with danger. The great cities of the world were now new cities built upon the ruins of the old. The kingdoms of Man redone were renamed after the fancy of a new people - their ancient names lost across a hundred generations, who never knew them.Yet our story begins not in one of the three majestic kingdoms of Man, nor does it begin in the civilised city-states of the River People. No. Our tale begins deep in the untamed highlands of Goya, where herds of wild rhinos roam the high plains, and the great coffee-coloured buffalox multiplies under the graces of their dark-skinned shepherds, the sturdy Mem'luks.Therein will young ALEC ETH meet the dreaded SLAYERS for the first time, and in so doing, forever change his destiny, and the destinies of all the peoples of the Land of Goya.
