In Myre: Book 13, The Gyrls of Gyrmouth, Lamia raids Gyrmouth with sixty Preussen sailors at her command. Defence of the city falls mainly on the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone (Rachel, Faunica, and Stella the Stargazer). Lamia’s plan to burn the Myre is thwarted by another female trio: Melita the Skurlwife, Mizar’s housekeeper, Mistress Stipple, and alchymist Siggy Mingen. Susanna confronts the man who mutilated her and healed her for twenty years.
Myre is a medieval epic for scientists, engineers, martial artists, strong women, math nerds, linguists, and people who love history. The “magic” is all real within the limits of medieval alchemy, metallurgy, mathematics, and medicine.
Author Bruce Clayton is a hanshi (professor emeritus of martial arts), a scientist, survivalist, writer, and historian. The Chapter Notes share his insights into the background of the story and the 38-year process of writing it. This is volume 13 of 18.
The world is all magical, and we can master it. We can be wizards, not just read about them.
