Denholm had spent his entire life in the safety of the Glade. As early as he could remember, adults were relentlessly cautioning all the children about the dangers of the Darkwood that surrounded their little oasis. When he was younger, Denholm had been just as scared of it as they said he should be. But failure after failure to fit in like the cog he was supposed to be eventually wore his patience down. Dangerous or not, Denholm was going into the Darkwood. And there, he would find and trick a Trickster. Because there was only one thing people in the Glade knew about the Darkwood, and it was this: If you could trick a Trickster, you won the ability to steal the power of a god.
