In
this fantasy adventure story we follow Temerity Aster, a 15-year-old
girl who lives with her large family in a small village of goat herders in
the tiny hamlet of Oddgoat. The world she lives is shaken up when random
doors to living dungeons appear, including one that has appeared in her
cellar.
Now her family must deal with the introduction of “Delvers”—adventurers
who are looking to explore these dungeons and escape with treasure. Soon life
for her and her family changes forever, and she must face two choices:
abandon the only home she's ever known to carpet baggers and sellswords, or
carve out a place for herself and her family in this new and dangerous world of
delving.
