Description
Fable™ Heroes, available May 2, 2012, on Xbox Live Arcade, gathers a range of heroes and villains from across the epic videogame saga—and the Fable™ companion eBook series delves even deeper into their greatest triumphs, darkest secrets, and never-before-seen origins. In the third eBook short story, the Blind Seeress Theresa encounters a destiny she can’t abide. Can she change the future without changing everything?
In a small village, an innocent girl is tormented by disturbing hallucinations and violent headaches. Like Theresa, the girl is a seer, but one whose powers will lead to madness and death. Theresa has seen the girl’s fate in a shocking vision. Refusing to accept what appears to be certain, Theresa resolves to find the mythical cure for second sight. But she needs help. Unfortunately, in a town where heroes are few and far between, Theresa is left with Elijah Stane, a drunken wretch up for one last great adventure. On a journey rife with peril, Fable’s™ most powerful seer discovers that altering fate is no easy task. And the choices Theresa must make will haunt her . . . perhaps to the grave.

Absolutely great!
5By Metal head75One of the best short stories I have ever readTheresa
5By jfs98I give this book five stars because it really brought the fable character Theresa to live and was a great addition to the fable seriesA masterful addition to the mythos of Albion
5By JaidenSatoTheresa has always been a favorite character of mine, ever since the first 'Fable,' so when I stumbled upon this, I just had to get it, especially because it also happens to be by one of my favorite authors. For being so short, it certainly doesn't lack in any detail, and Peter David gives us a fascinating look into the unique way that Theresa 'sees' the world. The character of the fallen Hero, Elijah Stane, is also deep and well-developed for such a brief role. This short story is definitely a fine addition to the mythos of Albion, and I definitely look forward to reading the ones about Reaver and Jack of Blades.Wonderful
5By JakeD268Best book in the series, truly touching.
