    About this ebook

    Hot on the trail of the mysterious enemy they know only as "the dark rider," the Blue Triad find themselves, not in any of the known territory of Tir na n'Og, but lost in the Mists; a place of innumerable dangers and subtle horror.  While battling their way through hordes of monsters straight out of nightmares, the three heroes uncover a terrible, long-lost secret—and an even more terrible threat—brewing in the shadows.  Only Yaqut ibn Munquidh's legendary sword skills, Antonio DeVasa's magic, and Angharad's ferocious cunning keep them one step ahead of the evil they awaken.

    But will they be able to carry their warning to the Fey, and all of Tir na n'Og before another of the dark rider's allies unleashes an ancient menace that threatens not only the land they are sworn to protect, but the very bond that unites them?

    Darragh Metzger

    I make my living in the world's two lowest-paying professions: acting and writing. While my resume includes stage and screen credits, I've spent the last several years wearing armor, riding horses, and swinging swords with The Seattle Knights, a stage combat and jousting theatrical troupe. My publishing credits include plays, non-fiction articles, and short stories, one of which made The StorySouth Millions Writers Award Notable Stories of 2005. I've written two short story collections and ten novels to date, sold three of them in 2002, and have now re-released them under my own imprint, TFA Press. My first non-fiction project, Alaska Over Israel: Operation Magic Carpet, the Men and Women Who Made it Fly, and the Little Airline That Could, came out in 2018. I also sing and write songs for A Little Knight Music and The Badb. If I had free time (which I don't), I'd spend it with horses. I'm married to artist/fight director Dameon Willich.
