Description

Saving Ward's Valley will be gnome mean feat! Welcome to a thrilling adventure packed with delightfully expressive artwork and unforgettable characters.

Ward is a grumpy gnome who only wants to be left alone. He never asked for company... but when his beautiful forest starts filling up with animals, it's more than just grumpiness that makes him nervous. Mysterious muck-trolls and terrifying humans are invading, and he'll need all the help he can get to defend Ward's Valley.

Bobby Curnow (Night of 1000 Wolves, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Brenda Hickey (My Little Pony) team up for an all-new adventure full of charm, color, and surprising depth.
