# The Outcast (novel)

The Outcast is a 1993 fantasy novel by Simon Hawke, set in the world of Dark Sun, and based on the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It is the first novel in the "Tribe of One" trilogy. It was published in paperback in November 1993.

## Plot summary

Sorak is part elf and part halfling and has multiple personalities as a result of childhood trauma and is on a quest for a savior for the dying world of Athas.

## Reception

A reviewer from Publishers Weekly comments that Hawke "more than intimates that Sorak himself is the long-awaited savior. His yarn offers fans of the fantasy genre some interesting themes to ponder."

Chris Wilson writing for Time describes The Outcast and The Tribe of One Trilogy as a fantasy epic that would have made for better TV than Game of Thrones.
