When Fenzighan “Fenzig” Wiznagrik broke into the King’s treasure chamber, he expected to come out with sacks of gems and gold. Instead, he is captured red-handed, and the young gnome thinks his life has come to an end.

King Erlgrane offers to spare Fenzig … if the gnome agrees to steal from someone else.

“Three emeralds,” King Erlgrane directs Fenzig. If the gnome returns with these specific jewels in the allotted time, Erlgrane will spare his life.

But the task will not be easy.

And the “allotted time” is short.
