Fableâ„¢ Heroes, available May 2, 2012, on Xbox Live Arcade, gathers a range of heroes and villains from across the epic videogame sagaâ€”and the Fableâ„¢ companion eBook series delves even deeper into their greatest triumphs, darkest secrets, and never-before-seen origins. In the second eBook short story, evil will be unmaskedâ€”but nothing is ever what it seems when Jack of Blades has the upper hand., Â , Finally, the people of Albion are safe. Jack of Blades, the supernatural terror, has been slayed . . . or at least, thatâ€™s what theyâ€™ve been told. But the residents of Oddwood know that Jack is alive and well. Leading a small force of mercenaries, Jack has enslaved the townsfolk and is enjoying a life of luxuryâ€”until an unassuming young man arrives on the scene, inadvertently thwarting Jack at every step. Living up to his merciless reputation, Jack of Blades decides upon a suitable punishment: throwing the newcomer into a cage with a flesh-eating Balverine. Little does Jack realize that heâ€™s dealing with a wild cardâ€”and a shocking twist to the Fableâ„¢ saga.
