The wizard Margle the Horrendous takes special pride in never
killing his enemies. Instead, he transforms them into various
accursed forms and locks them away in his castle. His halls are
filled with his collection of fallen heroes and defeated villains,
along with a few ordinary folk who were just unfortunate enough to
draw Margle's attention.
It's Nessy's duty to tend this castle. It's a lot of work, but she
manages, taking pride in housekeeping talents that keep the castle
from collapsing into chaos. But when Margle suddenly dies,
everything begins to unravel. Nessy finds herself surrounded by
monsters, curses, a door that should never be opened, and one very
deadly dark wizardess.
Nessy doesn't have might or magic on her side; she's just a kobold:
short, furry, and sensible. Her allies aren't much better: a voice
without a body, an angry fruit bat, a monster under her bed, a
wizard in a jar (or some of him, anyway), and a one-eyed,
one-horned, flying, purple, people eater. It would be smarter to
walk away, but taking care of the castle is Nessy's job, and that's
just what she intends to do.
If only she could find time to polish the silver while beating back
the forces of darkness.
