In Myre: Book 3, The Fastidious Fiend, Mizar must arrange an audience with Harry Chateaucourant, King of Gyrland. To safely reach Harry’s court, Mizar’s friends form a travelling circus. The warrior, Torch, endures the journey disguised as a dancing bear. Mizar’s allies get their day in court but are condemned by the perjury of Geoffrey and Glyss. Things look bleak until the most unlikely person makes a stand in their defence.
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 3 of 18.
The world is all magical, and we can master it. We can be wizards, not just read about them.
