In the depths of a cursed dungeon, young Max the Rogue battles more than the darkness; he faces creatures, traps, and fears lurking at every turn. With only his courage, a sword, and a heart ready to prove himself, Max descends deeper than any adventurer has dared before, unaware of the unexpected ally waiting for him in the shadows. Zowie, a curious and sarcastic spirit, has haunted these depths for centuries. When she sees Max, her long-dormant curiosity sparks to life, and she reluctantly decides to help him navigate the maze of the dungeon’s deepest level. Together, they form an unlikely alliance, facing trolls, spectral creatures, and the dragon that guards the dungeon’s ancient hoard.

As they venture closer to the final battle, their bond grows stronger, Zowie discovering a glimpse of life beyond the shadows, and Max learning that bravery isn’t always about wielding a sword. But survival in this dark world won’t be easy. Max and Zowie must work in harmony, each discovering strengths they didn’t know they had as they confront the dragon in a battle that will test their courage, loyalty, and hope.

Mike Robb delivers an immersive, heart-pounding tale of friendship, bravery, and the power of choice, perfect for fans of adventure, monsters, and unexpected connections.
