A hidden obstacle in the tall grass. Between the human zealots, demons, and other dark creatures roaming Lasniniar, Barlo never expected to get taken down by some stupid piece of wood.

But the dwarf and his elf friend Iarion always seem to attract trouble, turning even a simple camping trip into an unexpected adventure.

And the strange staff that tripped him becomes only the first of Barlo's problems...

A stand-alone misadventure story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith. (Previously published as "Legends of Lasniniar: The Wanderer." This adventure takes place after the World of Lasniniar novel Harbingers.)
