Life had been a whirlwind of changes for Casey since he accepted the offer of assistance from Loptr Laufeysson, known better by the name of Loki to most. But Casey regretted none of those changes, especially as they lead him to his Maude Sigynsdottir, the youngest child of Loptr and Sigyn. Bonding with that woman led him to his next lover, Rowan Deeproot, an Ironwood Dryad sent to assist him by none other than Earth Mother herself.
