Brangwain Spurge is an elf who has been nominated to take a rare relic to the goblin world as a gift of "peace" to the goblin ruler. Werfel is a historian in the goblin world and he has been selected to be host to Brangwain during his stay. However, all is not as it seems with this excursion.

This book is a delightful tale of political intrigue told in three different formats. Werfel's story is told in narrative form, Brangwain Spurge's communications back to the elfin world are illustrated and then there are the letters from the mastermind of the whole operation reporting back to the king of the elfin world. It is unique and highly entertaining.
