While most boys are starting to get hair under their arms, Nickle starts growing whiskers on his chin. By the time he is twelve, he can grow a full beard. Then one day, Nickle finds himself swallowed by the earth and taken to the center of the world where he finds a massive magical city called Earth Works that is governed by a myriad of powerful creatures. Between horrifying monsters, Elves that rule with pomp and power, Fairies that are in open rebellion, a greedy Dwarf Warlord, and an indestructible but blind adversary, Nickle finds himself in the middle of a power struggle that could mean the end of this new world.
