    About this ebook

    King Cudgel keeps having nightmares about Queen Carrion and a bear and wonders if these could reveal the whereabouts of his missing wife. So he consults Crackle the Court Magician, who finds out that strong magic is at work. If the King ever wants to see his Queen again, he needs to go deep into the forest in search of the wicked fur witch. In this fourth and final title in the uproarious Crunchbone Castle Chronicles we find the truth behind the disappearance of Queen Carrion.
