It had all been so simple. Keep the King safe from himself, make sure the Queen was happy and avoid the machinations of the court. It had almost become routine when Sir Derek found the King in the arms of the Queen’s various Ladies-in-waiting.

Now banished to the furthest corner of the kingdom, Sir Derek’s only chance at returning to his old life is to fulfill a quest given to him by the King: Create a permanent peace treaty between their kingdom and the fickle leader of the faeries, the mysterious Lady of the Woods.

This will prove to be more than his match as he faces off against pixies, satyrs, dryads and the dreaded Fafnir, a faerie so mysterious and deadly that he is only spoken of in whispered tones by those who know of his existence. On a quest deemed impossible by all who hear of it, Sir Derek will be pushed to the very limits of his cunning and strength in a land where survival can be the greatest victory of all.
