It all begins when a specter appears over Nord - and looms for a generation. But that's just one of the Underlings' epic troubles. And evil grows within... One-Minute Epics are poetic micro tales from the ""Lore of the Underlings"" series, bite-size sagas richly told of a doomed world near ours in a time soon to come. This collection consists of sixteen lyrical stories, songs from the dawn of Lore. ""Lore of the Underlings"" is an episodic anthology of epic poems and short stories, a treasury of gold and shadow, set in John Klobucher's bittersweet lands of Lore.
