Ogres are stronger than you.
Ogres rule the world.
Itβs always idyllic in the village until the landlord comes to call.
Because the landlord is an Ogre. And Ogres rule the world, with their size and strength and appetites. Itβs always been that way. Itβs the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes.
But when the headmanβs son, Torquell, dares lift his hand against the landlordβs son, he sets himself on a path to learn the terrible truth about the Ogres, and about the dark sciences that ensured their rule.
