Kurzbeschreibung
The Sacred Spring has struck and an Orc Horde ten-thousand strong erupts from Mount Festir, surging down the forested highlands toward the coast and plunder—and the pastoral town of Getnits. Known primarily for the smell of its tanneries and the dullness of its farmers, Getnits seemed the most boring place imaginable to Goey, the heir apparent to the Village's only bakery. His majority—and adulthood—less than a year away, Goey would become an important man in the village, as baker, or would if not for his only partly unearned reputation as a thief. But a childhood spent breaking into the Strutting Stag Inn to listen to Bard's tales had fired his blood for adventure and so together with his best friend—Regnar, one of the forest folk the villagers called vagabonds, when they didn't call them outlaws—and his worst enemy—Hefgirt, the recently reformed town bully and reluctant heir to the town's only caravaner—and Wanda— the tavern keeper's daughter who harbors a deadly secret—Goey intends to renounce village life for a career as an Adventurer. Their ceaseless training in preparation for the road ahead will be tested long before their planned departure, though, when a clue to the mystery of Hefgirt's mother's murder surfaces; when Wanda's secret is revealed to a village that still burns at the stake any suspected of witchcraft; and when they learn that the worst tale in Getnist's history is about to be retold—that the Horde approaches.
