A beast on the hunt
A haunted squire
And the battle to save Olympus
AD 1356 – Becoming a knight’s squire has been a dream come true for Talfryn. No more fighting with harvests. Or farm animals. Or market prices. Everything is great! There’s just one teensy problem: the monster that once nearly killed him now terrorizes his dreams and stalks him every waking hour, too.
Despite Talfryn’s best efforts to avoid a mythological rematch, the Oracle sends him on a quest to save Mount Olympus from its worst enemy, Janus. However, the mission becomes tangled when his best friend is accused of murder. Forced to collaborate with the one nymph maiden determined to give him the cold shoulder, the whole thing seems more doomed than a cabbage patch set upon by ravenous goats.
They say it’s best to face one’s fears, but did that include nightmares that are huge, deadly, and have foul breath that could knock you flat? How can Talfryn do that, find a murderer, and save the world, all before he completely loses his sanity—and possibly his life?
Delirious Inspiration Board
“A sword in hand is better than one in the gut.”
~ Delirious, from an Old English Proverb that Talfryn may or may not have made up

“This book has it ALL – mystery, action, and even a little romance that keeps things interesting! Book 4 of The Rise of the Charioteer series doesn’t let up for a second. You’ll be on the edge of your seat wondering what crazy adventure Talfryn and the rest of the crew will face next. If you’re a fan of fantasy and mythology, prepare to be completely charmed by this cast of characters. If you haven’t checked out book 1, Sorcerous, you should add this series to your must read list.”
Kelsey Gietl
Historical Fiction Author
“Delirious is the final book in the Rise of the Charioteer series and is also the most intense and action-packed book yet. From Talfryn’s inner monologues to the star-cross-lovers romance to the ravages of battle, there are several scenes that feel like a total gut-punch, but are so wonderfully written that you can’t stop turning the pages until you’ve reached the perfect ending.”
