The people of Almara don't know it, but they desperately need a hero. The godweapon, Calamitous, nears completion, and it holds the power to bring the continent to its knees. Half a world away, a young barbarian dreams of adventure. Does he find one? You bet your loincloth. Is he ready for it? Not so much. But Almara is in peril, and Marvin, with a little help from his friends, will answer the call, ready or not.
