Threadbare, a very small teddy bear, faces a harrowing journey. His little girl, Celia, has been taken, forcing him to cross the kingdom in search of allies, both living and dead, to rescue her. Fortunately, Threadbare has gained a voice and access to powerful new skills. His persistence allows him to conquer dungeons infested with rascally raccoon monsters, his wiles to turn a town of undead on its ear, and his sanity to survive an encounter with a mediocre old one.
But Celia's own path is growing increasingly hard and brutal as she matures. The profound question remains: will she even have a use for her old teddy bear when they finally meet again? And can both of them survive the encounter? This tale contains profanity, violence, and a truly creepy villain with an unsettling fondness for tentacles.
