In Myre: Book 8, The Wasp in Amber, Immy von Stanley confronts her demons during the birth of her child. Elaina Lentille, a master of vitromancy, joins the faculty. Smitten with Elaina, Jenks takes a painful path to self-improvement. Mizar sets a trap for a spy. Meanwhile, the Baby Wizards formulate blasting powder, study spear fighting, make wire from iron bars, melt sand into glass, and send messages that only a wizard can read.
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 8 of 18.
The world is all magical, and we can master it. We can be wizards, not just read about them.
