Three Brothers: The Firewater Saga: Edda One
THE WAY OF THE WORLDS

Adam mumbled a question and then Emily said something about rabid dust bunnies, but Ryan couldn't clearly make out their words. The two sounded distant, as if Emily and Adam were farther away than they really were. Ryan, on the other hand, was a lot closer to the opening. It gaped before him, a hole where wall and baseboard should be, shimmering the way the sky does on a very cold night. A draft of cool air brushed his face. He shivered. The air smelled of outdoors, of autumn, of the October night it was: a mixture of burnt leaves, frost-covered lawns, and something else . . . a strange tinge, an aroma he couldn't pinpoint. The fragrance tugged at him like a long-forgotten memory or a dream interrupted.


One night Ryan and his sister, Emily, wake to find a monster under their bed: the troll from their favorite bedtime story The Three Billy Goats Gruff. According to the troll, the writers of the classic children's story got it all wrong. Trolls aren't the bad guys the Big People make them out to be. And that's okay with them. For centuries his people have lived contentedly in isolation, keeping the memories of the past alive while the rest of Creation has moved on. But when an object from that past resurfaces, possibly foretelling the destruction of all Creation, his people are forced to break with custom sending out Gryphus Adamantinus Iskodewaaboo as their ambassador, their *T.A.L.

About the Author

As a child, Pat R. Steiner once found himself hanging from a nail pounded into a tree. Left there by his older siblings, he happily communed with the tree until his mother dragged the whereabouts of the missing younger brother from the guilt-ridden children. Since then he has had a fascination with nature (including the human variety) along with its many mysteries. His writings and art are his attempts to explain these Big Questions as well as those more mundane. Pat is the author of the fantasy series The Firewater Saga, the dark fantasy novel Enlarge Your Tentacles, Overnight! as well as the novellas wyrd and The White Hart. His short stories have appeared in Eric Flint's Grantville Gazette: Universe Annex and alongside Stephen King in the horror/science fiction anthology Qualia Nous. Pat is also a winner in the long-running international Illustrators of the Future Contest. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife and two children. Visit him on Facebook or at patsteiner.com.
