A thousand years ago, the immortal Trogres forged a powerful relic to aid the newly formed canines in their endeavors. To prevent any one ruler from seizing all its power, the elders of this brilliant half-troll, half-ogre race hid the Relic deep within the heart of the kingdom of Bovania, where its presence has since changed the land’s once peaceful Great Danes into greedy, power-hungry dogs.With this lust for power, so too has come a lust for the ancient piece, and over the centuries, attempts have been made to unearth it and unleash its great force. Even though such attempts have proved fatal in the past, King Ulric of Bovania remains determined to find, and possess, the Relic—and will let nothing stand in his way.But just when he thinks the Relic is within reach, Ulric learns that it’s no longer hidden where it once was. It’s now across the Norse Sea, somewhere in Britannia, and he embarks on a ruthless quest to discover where.Joined by his soldiers and mongrel allies made along the way, Ulric reaps havoc on Britannia in his search. Will he find what he’s looking for? Or will Britannia’s combined forces bring this unruly dog to heel?

Seven o’clock on a Monday morning, five hundred years after the end of the world, and goblins had been at the cellar again. . . . Not that anyone would admit it was goblins. In Maddy Smith’s world, order rules. Chaos, old gods, fairies, goblins, magic, glamours–all of these were supposedly vanquished centuries ago. But Maddy knows that a small bit of magic has survived. The “ruinmark” she was born with on her palm proves it–and makes the other villagers fearful that she is a witch (though helpful in dealing with the goblins-in-the-cellar problem). But the mysterious traveler One-Eye sees Maddy’s mark not as a defect, but as a destiny. And Maddy will need every scrap of forbidden magic One-Eye can teach her if she is to survive that destiny.
