What could gnomes and harpies have in common? It might seem that there's nothing, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The Harpy Queen and Gnome Queen are old friends. They first met on the Sloping Shores when a gnome ship was wrecked. The Harpy Queen helped the Gnome Queen and the whole crew reach their land and they've been the best of friends since then. They don't see each other often, but regularly write to each other. These are usually friendly letters about fun celebrations in their kingdoms, the first snow, a nephew's birthday or the building of a new city. However, this letter was completely different to the ones before... Accompany the Gnome Queen on a fascinating adventure through an alternative medieval world. The depths of the sea, sandy shores, gloomy troll caves and lots of other exciting things await!
