Hi everyone
This is my first post but I am looking for a book that I read around 15 years ago now that I would love my son to read now as it really opened me up to this genre, but I cannot for the life of me remember the name or author.
Basically the book was a bout a lone man who performed various tasks for people, all to obtain money to build a fortress. He worked alone but did have a companion who stayed at the fortress for him. The two tasks that stick in my mind are one where he has to defeat a bunch of were-people (possibly leopards) who are terrifying a village and the other one is where he beats a wind elemental by hiding in a cave and tricking it in to blowing itself out.
Does anyone have any ideas??????
Thanks for any suggestions
