In the northern dell of Nöstervalley, visitors are rare, but two large and hungry trolls have come down from the mountains to feast. This startling event launches Ruferto Basaretti on an impossible journey full of peril, intrigue, and chaos stretching across much of the changing world.
Technologically advanced races once ruled this world. To their great annoyance, the era of the humans is at hand, and they see humans as just slightly more acceptable than goblins. Choosing avoidance has many humans believing the elder races are fanciful stories designed to scare children into behaving.
Walking among human society are ancient races. Some do it for profit; some because they believe the plague of humanity must be brought to a bloody end.

The Adventures of Ruferto Basaretti
"Best series ever! It's my guilty pleasure when I'm supposed to be doing something else. Like sleeping.”
"I love that there is no swear words or sexual situations that is so common in fantasy novels today! There is war, but it does not glorify the gore. It still is great fun!"
"Best series ever! It's my guilty pleasure when I'm supposed to be doing something else. Like sleeping. 🤣"
“I find myself laughing out loud and then it's followed by some thoughtful moments about life.”
“This series just keeps getting better and more exciting! I keep sneaking off to read more!”

"An undiscovered gem of a series!"
"Just get these books, you will thank me later!"
"I read this book as a way to de-stress and ended up not wanting it to end. It was a fun, delightful and entertaining read.... I read with a chuckle or grin in many places. The adventures of Ruferto and things that happened to him surprised me in ways I never would have thought of (sometimes edge of your seat and sometimes intriguing), but I always felt like I was there with him and anxious to see what happened next. It was my perfect happy place during the stressful pandemic. I can't wait to read the next in the series!"
