The Foolhardies

Dean Dapper leads two lives. By day, he’s your average teenager enduring the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the mundane human world. By night, however, he’s the reluctant commander of the Foolhardies, a group of troublemakers fighting in a war of succession that’s been ongoing for nearly five hundred years! A Fifteen-year-old battling mythical fairy-tale beings may sound foolhardy, but Dean isn’t in this for himself. His younger brother Luca faces a life of slavery in the fairy realm, and only Dean’s fight to become the clan hero might rescue Luca from his grim fate. Luckily, Dean finds a valuable ally in Aurana, a princess of the clan with her own political ambitions of her family claiming the empty throne. Strategic battles, magic sword fights, the underbelly of fairy politics, and raging teen hormones—it’s all in a night’s work for Dean, Luca, Aurana, and the rest of the Foolhardies.

Identity

It was the weapon that Luca used to stab Edo in his lower back that caught my interest other than the act itself.

The part of it I could see sticking out of Edo was a shadowblade with a distinctly wavy edge. I'd seen something similar before. It was a kris dagger, a weapon commonly used in arcane rituals.

I'd never seen Luca use a dagger before much less use one preferred by fairy magicians. That was my first clue.

Luca pulled out the kris from Edo's back and jumped away just as Edo launched a sweeping swipe of his glaive at my brother.

I noticed then that Edo hadn't used his usual deadly power in that last attack. Whether it was because he was worried about hurting Luca or because his movements had gone sluggish, I wasn't sure. It might have been the latter.

Aurana rushed to Edo's side but he waved her away with a hand while his other hand gripped tightly onto the glaive which was helping to keep him upright.
