Leaving his home in Crooked Spyre, Mordekai Hagg takes a secret pathway through Hackenbarke Forest, seeking an underground cavern and a fortune in Goblins gold. On his journey, an elf called Dandelion, a grumpy dwarf named Grumblethump, and Slobberchops, a fierce forest troll, try to stop him, yet Mordekai will not turn back. Will Mordekai find what he seeks, and if he does, will he be happy that he did?
