Ogres are stronger than you.
Ogres rule the world.
Itâs 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. Itâs always been that way. Itâs the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes.
But when the headmanâs son, Torquell, dares lift his hand against the landlordâs son, he sets himself on a path to learn the terrible truth about the Ogres, and about the dark sciences that ensured their rule.
