Mythopoeia rests in the boughs of the great ash tree that roots in darkness. In a previous age the gods were all imprisoned or cowed, and the Tower of Sorcery put in place safeguards that the order of the world would be preserved. Three thousand years later those safeguards are coming undone, and the existence of Mythopoeia is threatened.

Who can save it from catastrophe?

Tiddles, the talking lizard person who was taught magic because someone lost a bet?

Mok, the curious slave in possession of a crystal sword?

Kerry and Aric, two youthful lovers on the run?

Or Bawn, the incredible warrior who cannot be killed no matter how much he would like to be?
