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. [UPDATE] Pausing on daily chapter releases this June 2020 on account of spending part of my writing time editing the work from the beginning.

The Strong Man

Garm's eyes went wide with surprise, and I could guess why. 

When we first met, the Great General and I had a duel where I was supposed to stop his attack in order to win. I managed it, although it was a struggle that nearly caused me to pass out. Now, months afterward, stopping his greatsword's downward slash seemed almost easy, at least that's what he thought. 

Imagine having to precisely attack a small part of a weapon in order to unbalance its momentum. That wasn't an easy feat at all, and it would have been impossible without Fool's Insight. 

Garm didn't know that though, and I was content with him thinking even for a moment that I was his match. Seeding doubt in an opponent's mind, after all, is a principle of warfare. 

"So, you've gotten better at fighting, boy," he spat in my face. 

"Or maybe you just got lamer," I fired back at him.
