Of Quills and Kings

The Orb of Immortality: it has the power to prolong life, and to make one a god. It also has the power to bend minds and control free will...

Jonathan Quintain is a naive young man reluctant to assume leadership after the Baron abandons the castle with his mistress and half of the staff. When a spell cast by the inept advisor and castle mage, Gamitof Pym, goes awry, the castle is turned upside down-freeing an underestimated hedgehog prisoner and displacing the magical Orb.

Following a battle for the now-ruined castle, Jonathan learns that Walpole, the so-called Sacred Hedgehog of Yurle, has the Orb and has captured the realm's child-king. With nothing left at home for a young man's appetite for adventure, he and his friends set off into the desolate land of Yurle to save their king and stop Walpole's plan for the end of humankind.
