Svelt: A Humorous Fantasy - The Slightly Unfeasible Tales of Landos, #1

Landos. A chaotic, multi-species, semi-evolved mire inhabited by a kaleidoscope of comical and devious characters. A wizard is murdered in a desperate attempt at stalling the progress of invention, randomly throwing an innocent into the middle of an age-old conflict after he 'inherits' the old trickster's puzzling map. With the drawing as his only guide, Svelt reluctantly begins searching for the unnamed artefact.
But he is not alone... A determined, ruthless 'messenger' heaven-bent on preventing it from being discovered. And an ancient, mischievous, time-travelling soul resurrected by a powerful sorceress, 'aiding' the confused soul along the way. Unwanted attention in Landos isn't conducive to life expectancy much beyond lunchtime... particularly for a dwarf troll.
