The reluctant goblin demigod Sir Tol of Sebacea is hot on the trail of an elusive criminal who somehow managed to compromise the most secure facility on the planet - a trail that leads to...well, let's just say unexpected places.

Meanwhile, his sister-in-law, the Tragacanthan Royal Consort, is uncovering the tangled, sinister threads of a 900-year-old crime spree, the solution to which will change the face of society forever.

Stir in a megalomaniac mage who has discovered a heinous means to immortality, and the stage is set for the kind of slapdashery only N'plork can provide.
