The Ickabog

The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a
king with the finest mustaches you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers and
cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate
them.

Everything was perfect – except for the misty Marshlands to the north which, according to
legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog
was just a myth, to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that
sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Could a myth unseat a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once happy country to its
knees? Could a myth thrust two children into an adventure they didn’t ask for and never
expected?
