James O’Grady lives a meek life. It took a simple invitation to dinner to change that. Charlotte, James’s secretary, agreed for him to meet Andrew Killian for dinner, neither of them knew what was coming.
For three thousand years, Andrew Killian has held the mantle of Guardian. A contract forced upon him By the Tuatha De Danaan. It is his responsibility for defending the veil that separates the human world from the land of the Fey.
The Tuatha were forced to leave this world millennia ago. Driven into a realm they didn’t belong to. This unnatural transfer of a powerful group disturbed the delicate veil that the gods created to protect one world from the other.
Andrew Killian has done an admirable job. His instincts and moral compass have helped him to navigate the perils inherent to his position. It helps that he’s immortal, but that doesn’t always mean victory when the very things you are meant to confront are ageless. This is why he has always employed a bard. The bard’s job has been simple. Follow the Druid as he goes about his duty, and record what had transpired. Just in case the immortal monsters he has been charged with battling prove too much even for an Immortal Druid.
Andrew’s Bard has just passed, it’s his eighty-sixth bard to do so. He had chosen James O’Grady to take on the awesome responsibilities of the Druid’s bard. James’s writing background and eidetic memory make his a superb candidate, but it turns out that James is more than he seems. He’s been touched, and even he doesn’t realize what coming. $0.99 on Kindle.
