About the Book
Greywolf is the general of an anemic militia that guards the frontiers of the idyllic land of the Fae, Tir-na-nog. All appears peaceful along the northern borders, until he sends animals to spy across the Mysts, that mysterious veil that separates the Human lands from the enchanted Lands of the Fae.
He rushes back to his homeland only to be scorned as an opportunist by the ruling council. Almost single handedly he strives to stem the flow of the enemy not only into his own lands, but into all of Tir-na-nog itself.
Will he succeed? Can he rally the kingdoms to defend the lands in time? The answer may surprise you.
Enter a wayward Goddess hell bent on revenge! Diana arrives in Tir-na-nog to avenge the destruction of her temples And the murdering of her priestesses. The first living soul she encounters upon arrival is Greywolf. The Sparks fly as they form an unlikely partnership to do battle against Dark Lord!
A bold fantasy tale laced with drama, comedy, magic, mystery, bloodshed, and romance. Where mythical beasts and races come alive, and interact in a world of splendor. It is a classical struggle between the forces of Good and Evil. He receives reports that in a land of an ancient enemy, troops are amassing at a fortress known as the Tower of Terror. Then the reports abruptly cease. He travels to the land of Humans himself only to discover that an invasion is being planned by an evil villain. A villain he himself used to call friend.

Laura Perrotti, writing under the name of The Goddess Diana, is originally from Baltimore, Maryland. She moved to New Jersey at an early age. She has been writing poetry and short stories since childhood and has culminated her literary skills in her latest work, Dark Lord, the first in a series of full-length novels. A graduate of Norwich University in Vermont with a degree in Psychology, Laura has written numerous academic works, including a thesis, which concentrated on the affects of Alzheimer's disease on the family dynamic.

David M. Rountree, who writes under the pseudonym Greywolf the Wanderer, was born in Suffolk, Virginia on May 22, 1954. He and his family moved to Florida during his eighth year, to the quiet little town of Delray Beach, where he developed an intense love for both the sea and flying. The freedom of the sky inspired him to join the Air Force in 1972, where he completed his degree in Electronic Engineering. His experience in Vietnam inspired him to write, and in 1994, he became co-editor and contributing author of The Feary Rad magazine. This opportunity spawned many short stories, articles and poetry about weapons, love, war, and legendary races. He left the magazine in 1999 to concentrate on the completion of Dark Lord, his first full-length work. His poetry appears in selected anthologies titled Nature's Echoes, and his work will be featured in a new anthology titled Friends of Morningshade. His poem "Laura" was selected by the International Library of Poetry to be published in "Poetry's Elite-The best poets of 2000".
David is currently working on a book about paranormal technology.
David and Laura were married in 2003 and have a five year old son, Ian.
