The crowning volume of Farmer's bestselling trilogy begins with a tornado. The fields of Jack's village are devastated, the winter looks bleak, and a monster invades the forest outside of town. But even the direst of prospects are part of the fun as Jack, Thorgil, and the Bard set off on a quest to right the wrong of a death caused by Father Severus. Destination: Notland, realm of the fin folk, and, unfortunately for the adventurers, Not Always There.
