Trickster

Aldred, the dreaded Earl of Acca, is at it again. When the earl discovers a portal that releases a fighting arbor, Aldred rips open the gateway between the after-realms and another world called the Primeval. After all, how hard can it be to kill a freaking tree? Super hard, as it turns out. The earl unleashes none other than the Contagion, an uber-evil wizard in tree form. The Contagion rushes into the after-realms, steals life force from innocent children, and then escapes back into the Primeval. No one wants to chase after the cruel wizard, even if destroying the Contagion means healing those lifeless children. Cue our hero, Lincoln, and his fiancée, Myla. While everyone else runs away, Myla and Lincoln break into the Primeval with but one hunt down the Contagion. Fun times. Unfortunately, Lincoln and Myla’s only guide is Peli, a trickster monkey who may secretly serve the evil wizard. And that isn’t the only possible treachery in Myla and Lincoln’s lives, either. Powerful forces work to deceive our favorite couple about the very nature of who they are and what they want. Talk about tricksy.
