Not all faerie tales have happy endings! Scarred by the horrors that plague him from his time with the Marines during the Faerie War, Boy Scout just wants to numb his mind and forget any way he can. Fate has other plans. Forces from both Earth and Faerie care nothing for Boy Scout's wishes. He is too important and both sides seek to use him again, but too what end? Boy Scout doesn't know. He only knows he's tired of being used. Will the King of Faerie and the U.S. government get Boy Scout to dance the same old dance from the strings each has tied to him, or will he cut those strings and write a new story?
