When Fenzig crept into the king's treasure chamber, he expected to come out with sacks filled with jewels and gold coins. He didn't expect to be caught and thrown into a dungeon - or offered his freedom in exchange for stealing something for the king. When Fenzig accepts...as his only other option is dangling from a noose...he sets off on an odd and perilous adventure. Along the way he meets a variety of whimsical and malevolent characters who hide more than a few secrets and who all want something from the little thief. But all Fenzig wants to do is survive his mission with his skin intact - and maybe just an additional gold coin or two in his pocket.
