Aubyrn Wyndsbane wants nothing but to find his place in the world. After rescuing a hapless squire named Bunt in the enchanted Arthia Forest and the ensuing festivities, he takes up residence in the neighboring kingdom of Oposeon with high hopes of introducing elvenweed to its woefully inexperienced population. Opening his shoppe, however, turns out to be fraught with danger. Oposeon seems determined to keep its head firmly up its arse and has outlawed elvenweed. Luckily, Aubyrn's not alone. He enlists a pair of his pals who are experts in elvish gardening magic, and the self-proclaimed queen of the Duskrun thieving den agrees to handle distribution for a cut of the profit. A misfit dwarf couple joins his crew to maintain his facility, and a wolfish friend offers the services of his pack to assist with security. It seems as if Aubyrn's got everything covered. So what if the thief is distracted by Oposeon's princess, or if Bunt is forced to be the main supplier of elvenweed for the kingdom's head knight? Even the threat of an elvish bounty hunter, a goblin thug with a vendetta, and the contemptible Sheriff Godfrey and his militia won't stop Aubyrn from doing what he loves now that he's found somewhere he belongs. After all, what more is there to life than making a bit of coinage while perpetually blazed on elvenweed?
