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 caused 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 Vault of the Gods, an impregnable repository on the premises. Rumor has it, the Apple is guarded by Typhon, the biggest, baddest titan that ever terrorized ancient Greece. 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. - - - Druid’s Gamble is an urban fantasy novel by MD Massey, and the fourth and final action-packed, magic-slinging, god-slaying installment in The Trickster Cycle Druidverse® urban fantasy series.

I write urban fantasy, paranormal suspense, and dark fantasy novels. My first series, THEM, is a jaunt through a post-apocalyptic central Texas where the dead walk, and vampires, werewolves and other unsavory creatures roam the night. It has elements of the zompoc genre, dark fantasy, and military survival fiction. My goal with this series was to give readers the same excitement I get from reading books by Larry Correia, Jonathan Maberry, and J.L. Bourne. On the other hand, my Colin McCool series falls squarely between urban fantasy and paranormal suspense. Colin's world is full of magic, mystery, and folklore come to life. I wrote this series because I love reading books by authors like Patricia Briggs, Kevin Hearne, Jim Butcher, and Neil Gaiman. And, like most authors, I try to write stories that I would enjoy reading. I currently live in the Hill Country near Austin, Texas, which is where much of my fiction is set. Most days you can find me in a local coffee shop or in my office working on my next book, or in my garage pummeling inanimate objects.
