Belissar has always lived a peaceful life, if not a particularly easy one. Though he lost his parents, he was taken in by a kindly villager who taught him his life's calling: beekeeping. But one day the local lord's ruthless son, Ruckanos, comes to their humble village to claim his own tower, slaughtering everyone.

Not long ago, all Belissar wanted was to be left in peace to tend his apiaries. But that ended when Ruckanos, the brutish son of the local lord, slaughtered his village to make way for his new tower.

Now, aided by the mystical bear folk who share their knowledge and wisdom with him, he must continue to grow.

With his defeat of the tower lords, Belissar has officially declared his presence as a growing and formidable power in the land. But that doesn't mean he can just sit back and harvest honey until the drones come home. Because the dreaded Hunger's still out there, waiting to consume all in its path . . .
