Author’s Note: Druid
There were times when I thought this book would never be finished. I had written a first draft some time ago but threw it out and started again just a few months before publication. There’s not much left of the original story, except for Derwa, who was there all along. Although she’s not a point of view character, she was always integral to the story that I wanted to tell.
I didn’t set out to write three books about courage but somehow that’s what happened. Muse was a story about a boy who didn’t want to be a hero. Fey was about strong women who readily step up to be heroes. Druid is about a young man who is courageous in so many ways, even though he thinks he is failure.
