The fifth instalment in this hilarious and exciting fantasy sequence from a fresh new talent.
Lord Curfew has been returned to Dullitch, but things are not as they seem. The real Lord Curfew was brutally murdered and now an evil impostor sits on his throne. Ruthless and hungry for power, he will do anything to sustain his disguise ... and people have started to notice.
But, this impostor is a pawn of a much darker force. One that's older than Illmoor itself ...
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Illmoor ...
King Groan Teethgritt, his brother Gape, and Gordo Goldeaxe discover an ancient and valuable hammer that leads them back to Dullitch. Little do they know they have just unearthed a crucial part of Dullitch's past.
Can old heroes reunitre to save the city once again?
