Fenn Farrow longs for adventure. But after sneaking away from her quiet home in the back of a Gnomish tinker's wagon, she finds adventure more than she bargained for.
Tinker, wagon, and any hope of turning back vanish in a violent storm out on the aptly named Windy Plains, and after three harrowing days wandering the arid landscape, hunger and thirst consume her.
She awakens, disoriented and confused, in a city she's never heard of, with no recollection of how she got there. And while all Fenn wants is to go home, the citizens of Yarde-home of the Duke and his
prize turnip-are on high alert.
The Beast is afoot. And it's devouring everything it can find. The townsfolk are terrified. No one knows what—or who-will be next.
For the first time in her short life, Fenn longs for the safety and comfort of her forest home, her mother, her noisy brothers. But if she's to get back, she'll have to survive long enough to figure out where home is.
A novella, approx. 100 pages.
