Chapter Preview
“What brings you away from Giant’s Deep, Gabbro?” Esker asks curiously as the other Traveler makes themselves comfortable by the fire and begins burning marshmallows to a crisp. Gabbro had always enjoyed their marshmallows over done. “Thought I’d take you back to The Village.” Gabbro says, smiling proudly. “Things are about to get pretty interesting on Timber Hearth and I would hate for you to miss it.” That was a very interesting statement and Esker desperately wants to agree to go. There’s just one problem. “I can’t abandon my post, Gabbro.” “I guarantee no one will blame you for coming home for this.” Gabbro says seriously.
