The Cave Maze

He was only eight when a bloodied sorcerer tutored him on the perils of questing in the Cave Maze...
...The craving to enter has tormented ever since.

The Wizard Talhoffer stocked the underground labyrinth with a murderous assortment of beasts, traps, gold, and personal magic items worth dying for. And treasure hunters did die for them.

Not Raff Jenkins. He planned to survive.

After losing the questing university scholarship, sword whiz Raff takes drastic measures to earn tuition. With the help of his hustling cousin Dread and a party of rag-tag locals...he heads into the cave maze as a newbie. What he discovers inside is more than just treasure, bloodthirsty hags, or crotch-masticating hellhounds - he learns that a link to his past is tied to the fate of his kingdom.

Will he return in time to pay off the death-threats awaiting him at home? Will he return at all?
