Synopsis
Set shortly after the two Untunchilamon books, in Wen Endex in northern Yestron, a land ruled by the Yudonic Knights, who resemble Scandinavian heroes. The Wormlord's daughter Ursula and his grandson Alfric, a Yudonic Knight who works for the Partnership Banks, contest the succession, and Alfric is reluctantly drawn in. Werewolves, vampires and giants feature in the story. The story is a struggle over who will rule Wen Endex after the Wormlord.
