The world as we know it has come to an end. A pandemic has ravaged the planet and the laws of science have, apparently, taken a holiday. Behind it all is a work of epic fantasy, whose fans are our only hope. However, turning into elves, dwarves, and trolls is not quite what the fans of this epic fantasy, young and formerly old, had in mind before sprouting elvin ears, aging backward, becoming rather tall... or becoming rather strong for their size, which is good, because those that are now their favorite villains, seem rather intent on killing key characters and, of course, the author of the story. Happen to be good with a sword? We can use people who are; gunpowder seems to put out fires now... Oh, don't worry too much about the goblins, we're in this together, aren't we? Also, the dragon seems rather nice... Welcome to Double Dare, the latest novel with a YA twist, from D.H. Aire, author of the Highmage's Plight Series, where character takes on new meaning and the author needs all the friends he can get.
