This is a story about how it is harder to come back than to leave, about friendships that happen, and adventures that happen, about time that can be turned back, and stupid stubbornness that does not lead to good. Somewhere, thousands of years ago, there live shaggy savages, who are not their own to the point of funny stories. And not long after, creepy carts the size of houses rush through the streets. Orcs live under the mountain and steal children. The troll repairs the mill wheels. And the boy in the mine finds something that turns out to be not at all what it looks like.
