It's the little things that can determine the destiny of kingdoms - a mop, a small red pig, a tiny, ancient woman who lives in a stable ... Ogbar the Chef's departure from the palace of Hewslez sets off an improbable chain of events culminating in the battle for a kingdom and the fate of another. The kitchen assistants find them themselves centre stage of international affairs as the consequences stack up, each of them finding out a lot more about themselves than they had dared to imagine. The ties that bind them might just save the kingdom once again as one calamity follows another. This is the second book in the Sven Kingdoms series, a darkly comic tale of ordinary folk in extraordinary circumstances set in a down to earth, but eccentric, fantasy land
