Elfin Brangwain Spurge is catapulted into goblin territory in order to present an artifact to their leader as a peace offering. At least that's what he believes. In reality, the artifact is a bomb, and he the unwitting bomber. Why would elves offer peace to such a brutal society?

Each night, Brangwain uses magic to send back home his visual accounts of the day. These mental prints vary wildly from what he actually experiences. Wonderfully and disturbingly illustrated by artist Eugene Yelchin, the ink drawings help shine a brilliant and humorous light on the perils of racial prejudice and its use as justification for war.
