Haskell is the unwanted son of a ruthless merchant. He yearns to be like his grandfather who saved the realm and broke the orcish hordes. Trading privilege for a bag of coin and his grandfather's sword, Haskell chases glory to the borderlands. There, he hopes to prove himself worthy of his legacy against creatures more fearsome than orcs. Only, he must contend with a monster-hunting guild every bit as dangerous as the greedy dragons it once hunted.

With a band of misfits behind him, including a jaded grifter, pithy wizard, and orphaned half-orc, Haskell must overcome a labyrinthine dungeon, and his own shortcomings, in his bid for fortune and acceptance. If traitors and fierce woodland monsters don't murder him first.
