Sekenre

Sekenre: The Book of the Sorcerer is a collection of linked fantasy short stories by American writer Darrell Schweitzer featuring his dark fantasy protagonist, the child-sorcerer Sekenre.

He confronts various threats and challenges while attempting to maintain some semblance of humanity through the aeons.Critic Don D'Ammassa called Schweitzer's book &quote;some of the more interesting sword and sorcery style fantasy fiction being published these past few years,&quote; and Sekenre &quote;probably Schweitzer's most interesting character, a combination of a child and a powerful sorcerer who has almost ceased to be a human being.&quote;
