Joy

the Dreughan

I've already killed for my family, and I'd do it again, without remorse. 

I am Troy, the happy young man full of joy and laughter. The harmless one, who can send arrows into the heart of a traitor with deadly precision. 

When my Dreughan family sends a group of people to Pantano, the main village of the Waterfolk, I was selected to go with them. I was excited to go because I've longed to see the great waters, but things end up a little more complicated than I thought.

It turns out that, whether I like it or not, I have more than one family.

I was having a good time with the Waterfolk together with my warrior friend Mal and Drake's pretty sister Rinna, when we started to suspect that someone deliberately tries to re-kindle the war. Then I must risk everything, and if I succeed it will help end the war once and for all, but as family and friends turn their back on me, it looks like I'll have to pay a high price…

Troy's story about laughter, courage and sacrifice is the third and final book in the Dreughan trilogy, set in a medieval fantasy world from a thousand years ago. It's a story about a young man's willingness to die for the ones he loves as he fights to find a place to call home and a family that is his.

The Dreughan trilogy can be read standalone, but it's also the starting point for Ms. North's Urban Fantasy series "Birds of a Feather".
