The Ratastrophe Catastrophe

To save the future of their homeland, a young herald and petty thief must face off against a boy consumed by dark magic

Illmoor's capital has a problem: rats. And lots of them. Desperate for a solution, the chairman of the Dullitch Council seeks the help of Illmoor's roving mercenaries, hoping to find someone who can tame the ever-swelling tide of rodents. Jimmy Quickstint, the chairman's grandson and junior thief in training, returns to Dullitch with the hulking Groan Teethgrit and his angry dwarf sidekick, Gordo Goldeaxe. Together, they are Dullitch's best hope to eradicate the rats—until Diek Wustapha arrives.
