When you’ve seen one end of the world, you’ve seen the lot.

Meet Stone Eye. Veteran of three apocalypses, wielder of a magical spade, and a man with one ambition: to be left alone with a decent pint.

When a prophecy refuses to respect his retirement, Stone Eye flees to The First and Last inn — the kind of place even destiny has trouble finding. It finds him anyway. And waiting there is an old friend – Hypolaika the holy thief -who has forgotten who she is. Something that matters more than either of them knows.

Because the world is forgetting itself too. Things are losing their purpose. And somewhere in the gap between who the thief was and what she has become lies a secret that may have already doomed the Moons of Morning.

The only way to save her — and the world — is to tell the tale of the escapade they once shared. The story of how Stone Eye assembled a cut price band of underqualified adventurers — a minotaur, a fallen angel, a wild witch and a hippo priest, oh, as well as a wizard and his mum – and led them into the Lightning-Struck Tower to face the Ghost King.

Stone Eye — reluctant, retired, and deeply suspicious of anyone whose ambition is to end up in a story — is the only one who can tell the tale.

Narrated by Gunnar Cauthery and perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld and Dungeons & Dragons, Stone Eye and the Fourth Apocalypse is a hilarious, heartfelt adventure for anyone who ever suspected the chosen one was just the poor sod who couldn’t get out of it.
