The Wizard by Gene Wolfe
Here is a work to rival the greatest fantasy of the last century, one truly in Tolkien's tradition. A novel in two volumes, "The Wizard Knight" is in the rare company of those works that spring from the myth and literature of past ages. A teenager passed from Earth to a magical realm of seven worlds, where he was soon given a hero's adult body and the name Able. Forced to act as a man, inside he remained a boy, even as he set off to find his destined sword and become a knight. In "The Wizard", Sir Able returns to the world of Mythgarthr following his fight with the dragon Grengarm. Twenty years older, with a unicorn steed named Cloud, Able has special magical powers he has sworn not to use, in return for the hope of meeting his beloved Aelf queen again.
