In Myre: Book 9, The Prince of Shirewood, the Baby Wizards go on tour, making forts pop up like mushrooms across the Gyrland interior. They mint coins, shoot arrows, snare rabbits and rescue ducklings from a river monster. Torch and Mattie revisit the inn where they first met. Mizar recreates the legend of the Dragon’s Teeth by making an army spring out of the ground. Smerty Rovdjur breaks out of prison on the Myre with unexpected results, and Gyrland rides to war.
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 9 of 18.
The world is all magical, and we can master it. We can be wizards, not just read about them.
