Here’s a summary of this exciting new chapter in the unfolding Lore saga…

Welcome back to Lore of the Underlings, a trail of tales to the end of things, and maybe a bit beyond.

The lore continues. In this episode: John Cap wakes up in a circus-like ring, a courtroom where trial is about to begin. But just whose trial? Now that’s the question. Meanwhile, a quirky clerk named Ho-man hits him with punch lines he doesn’t expect as a comically tragic warm-up act…

But is there some secret to Ho-man’s set, a clue for his foreign guest’s defense? Or just a little trick or two to give the teen a ghost of a chance?

~~~ The Lore is available in paperback, ebook, and audio formats ~~~
