The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe

THE WIZARD KNIGHT springs from the myths, legends and literature of times past. A teenager passes from Earth to a magical realm of seven worlds, where he is given a hero's adult body and named Able. Though forced to act as a man, inside he is still a boy, even as he sets off to find his destined sword and become a knight. In his quest he battles giants, meets gods, heroes and a sorceress (who repeatedly tries to seduce him), and serves the mercurial dragon king Arnthor in a was that could end everything.
Born in New York and raised in Texas, Gene Wolfe trained as a mechanical engineer. He began to publish short stories in the 1960s and has gone on to win many prestigious awards, including the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. His BOOK OF THE NEW SUN quartet is notable in having won both fantasy and science fiction awards.
