Told in the quest tradition, this story is based in a fantasy world dedicated to rock climbers: The Holy Hex has been stolen and Prince Rockhard must retrieve it before the kingdom of Cliffedge crumbles away. His party for this epic quest includes an obsessive chef, smug rock, a cheap-skate with a magic chalkbag and the world champion at climbing anything under three metres high. Together they face dark forces, evil mercenaries, bad weather and a crux more fearsome than anything seen on a cliff face before.
