Thrum - E-book - ePub

Thrum, an out-of-work dropout from magic university, is happily bumbling through life in a world where sorcery reigns supreme and landlords have the backing of eviction ogres. However, his carefree existence takes an unexpected turn when he wakes up one morning to discover a powerful scroll containing the spirit of Taukin, a legendary wizard with a past shrouded in mystery. As Thrum grapples with this unexpected burden, he quickly realizes that his day just got a whole lot more complicated.
Driven from his home clad in dressing gown and rabbit shaped slippers, Thrum is pursued at every turn by a sect of dark wizards that want the scroll for their own evil ends. He must battle against his innate and finely tuned sense of self-preservation to take up the quest and bring the scroll to the very heart of the enemy stronghold. From a chance encounter he befriends an affable muscle-bound adventurer who becomes his staunch ally, and together they face bar brawls, magicians on uncontrollable supercharged broomsticks, battles with frog-like elves and seemingly immortal wizards.
Together, they stand against the encroaching forces seeking to exploit Taukin's powers-though Thrum often wishes they could just sit down and have a sensible chat over a cup of tea. In this enchanting tale of magical mishaps, reluctant heroism, and the unlikeliest of alliances, Thrum's determination to avoid the textbook Hero's Journey at all costs will determine the fate of the land. Can the light of hope pierce through the darkest of sorcery when your hero is more likely to trip over his own robe than strike a heroic pose? Join Thrum and his motley crew in a journey where courage comes in all shapes and sizes-even in a fluffy dressing gown.
