Publisher's Synopsis
After years of bitter conflict an uneasy peace still holds between Tarania and Verlum. That, and fear of the wild woodlands they just call the Border, were once all that stood between the Land of the Gods and the Land of the Angels. Yet the true culprit of an ancient murder has been exposed and his victim's name cleared, and both sides are learning to forgive. So who should suspect anyone of building a network of tunnels that straddles the Border, bringing their slime and their stink? What falls through is Louie, son and heir to the King of Tarania. Late one night he spies intruders and the first clues in a trail that will take him, and his old schoolfriends, on a quest to save the peace of the world from the thwarted malice of the evil witch Es'trixia, and the Dark Angel who would murder the peace, too.
