The Steampunks’ flaming dragon bone will soon burn away. They must have a new one for the Master Furnace that powers all their nation’s contraptions through a network of leaky steam hoses. For this urgent quest, they require a heroic wizard to voyage treacherous seas, battle ferocious beasts, and face the Steampunk’s mortal enemy and masters of yarn magic, the Crochets. Mitch is not that wizard.

Low-ranking Mitch the Adequate is sent to merely receive this request and report back. But he is assailed by a less-than-persuasive Steampunk Librarian with ambitions of her own. With the help of the pirate, Captain Fanny, and her clockwork sailing ship, they set forth to claim a new bone and to put truth to old legends.

Meanwhile, none of their bosses are okay with any of this.
