The Divine Kingdom has been at peace for ten thousand years. But now an ancient enemy has returned to hunt for a young girl who holds the key to unlocking the all-powerful weapon that once brought terror the world. And there is only one thing that can protect her, only one man... and another man and an elf and a witch and a troll and a third man and a duck can stand against this nastiest of Dark Lords and save all of Phantasmorifica.
