Druid Arcane

Druid Arcane urban fantasy novel norse mythology

I thought that learning magic from a druid master was tough. Between surviving Click’s deadly magic lessons and being harassed by the huldufolk, I’ve been trying to track down the Celtic god of healing, as only he can save Finnegas, my mentor.

And just when we finally got a solid lead, Loki’s brother showed up to throw a wrench in the gears. Bottom line? I might have to fight an army of fire and frost giants to save Finn’s life. It’s a good thing I brought my wading boots, ‘cause it’s about to get deep...

With his mentor’s life hanging by a thread, Colin McCool discovers that only one god has the power to heal him. Can the journeyman druid battle his way through an army of Norse giants to save his dearest friend?

If you’ve never learned magic from an insane immortal magician, lemme tell you… it’s no walk in the park.

Six long months I’ve spent here in Iceland, boning up on my magic skills while I search for a way to heal my mentor, Finnegas. So far, my substitute magic teacher has nearly killed me a dozen different ways.

But I don’t care, because the old man is depending on me. And now that the Celtic gods are hot on my tail, I’ll need these skills to survive.

Between surviving Click’s batshit crazy magic lessons and being harassed by the huldufólk, I’ve been tracking down the Celtic god of healing. According to Click, Dian Cécht is the only one that can help the old druid, and now we finally have a solid lead.

Only problem is, Loki’s brother Býleistr found out I killed his son, and he wants blood. And with an army of giants behind him, he’ll stop at nothing to keep me from Dian Cecht as revenge.

I have to admit, this time I don’t know if I can pull off a win. But, I’ll be damned if I let the old man die on my watch. And if Býleistr wants to send me to Hel, I’ll take him and his whole jötnar army with me…

Now that I’ve dealt with Badb and proven to the Celtic gods that I’m a force to be reckoned with, it’s time to address some unfinished business…

The Hellpocalypse.

Just thinking about that place makes me break out in a cold sweat, and since I started planning this journey, the nightmares have come back with a vengeance.

Do I really want to revisit that hellhole? Absolutely not, but folks there are depending on me—innocents who won’t survive unless I return to protect them.

Besides, it’s my fault that the Hellpocalypse exists, so it’s my responsibility to fix it.

When Gwydion stranded me there, I had no warning or time to prepare. But for cripes’ sake, I’m a master druid now—a little ol’ paranormal apocalypse will be a cake walk.

Druids Curse urban fantasy novel by author MD Massey

When Colin is trapped in Underhill and stripped of his druid magic, he’ll race against time to survive a deadly, nefarious curse… before the goddess who cast it shows up to finish the job!

Colin McCool here, everyone’s favorite druid master and trouble magnet extraordinaire. Everyone except the gods that is, who seem to enjoy messing with me just a little too much.

Which is how I ended up in an alternate timeline, trying to save humanity from a vampire apocalypse. After getting my tail kicked by the top leech in Dallas, I decided it was time to level up before round two.

Sadly, a druid isn’t much without an Oak to power him up and a Grove where he can study and rest. Sure, I have some magic, but it’s minuscule compared to the supernatural beings I’m up against.

That’s why I’m headed to Underhill, to bond with a druid oak in this timeline so I can win this war. To do that, I’ll need to recruit the help of the Dagda, leader of the Celtic pantheon and the deity who gifted humans with druidry in the first place.

To get to him, all I have to do is survive a goddess’ curse and traverse Underhill while the entire land is embroiled in a civil war.

Easy. Peasy. Bet I’ll be back before anyone even knows I’m gone…

Druid’s Gamble

Druids Gamble urban fantasy novel by MD Massey featuring Colin McCool

When Loki tasks Colin with stealing the Apple of Discord from Eris, the druid assembles a crew of misfits and thieves to stage the biggest heist in supernatural history. Viva Las Vegas, baby!

I’ve been known by many names… Junkyard Druid. Justiciar. God-Killer. And now, Trickster. That’s because I’ve thrown my lot in with the Trickster Gods’ Local #113.

This merry band of defecation-stirring deities and demigods includes the likes of Sun Wukong, Loki, Heyoka, and the immortal magician formerly known as Gwydion… who happens to be my mentor.

Now one of our members has gone rogue—Eris, the Goddess of Discord. Recently, she stirred up a ton of trouble in my hometown of Austin, and after dealing with that mess I tracked her to good ol’ Sin City.

Eris has decided the rules no longer apply to her. She’s determined to sow chaos across the nation in an attempt to spread her cult and return to her former glory.

Normally that wouldn’t be an issue—but Eris has holed up at Caesar’s on the Strip, and she’s hidden her Apple of Discord in the deepest vault on the premises.

Rumor has it, the Apple is guarded by Typhon—but he’s been chained in Tartarus for millennia, so it’s probably just talk. Our job is to break in, steal the Apple, lift the curse, and save the day.

And if we abscond with a few hundred million in gold from the goddess’ vault, well…

…I guess I’ll be the first druid in history to dual-class as a thief.

Viva Las Vegas, baby.

Colin McCool here, the final heir to Finn the Seer’s druidic legacy. I’m done serving tricksters, gods, and fae, and now it’s time to attend to personal matters.

Priority number one? Fulfilling my master’s dream by rebuilding the druid order.

Since the fall of the druids 2,000 years ago, the gods, vampires, and fae have wreaked havoc on humanity. It’s time for that reign of terror to end.

But if I’m to restore the druids to their former glory, I’ll need a safe place to train my recruits. Ideally, someplace where they won’t get curb-stomped by the gods.

I can’t think of a better place to hide out than an alternate timeline where the gods and fae are too busy fighting a civil war to bother with little old me. So, it’s time to head back, settle old scores, clear the alternate timeline earth of the undead, and plant some new druid groves.

This time, I’m ready for those bloodsucking bastards. With a powerful werewolf alpha and the world’s saltiest necromancer at my side, the vampires won’t know what hit them.

After I finish that business, who knows? Maybe I’ll take a vacation, and possibly even settle down.

But first, I have some serious vampire slaying to do—about three million of them.

Nobody ever said being a druid master would be easy…

I have no idea, but I guess there’s only one way to find out…
