A Boy wanders into darkness, a land of broken things...There he meets a goat, a hyena and a lamb with diabolical schemes... The Boy escapes the oppressive Castle of his birthright on his fourteenth birthday. As he ventures into the unknown, his rebellion leads him on a descent to ancient alchemy and present danger. He must call on his wits to escape - or be trapped forever.
