A missing goddess. Three and a half heroes. An emergency heist.

The holy icon of the goddess has disappeared from the temple in Vautdei only weeks before an important festival. If news of the theft spreads, not only will the town be a laughingstock, but pilgrims will go elsewhere to celebrate—taking with them the money Vautdei desperately needs to stay afloat.

Local heroes Nuho and Hoje intend to steal the goddess back. But heists aren’t their usual line of work. Luckily, their dramatic friend Tinsa and their mischievous young cousin Busi are ready to help out, with espionage, magic, and…makeup?

They thought they’d do anything to get her back. They didn’t realize what they were signing up for.

This fun, 100-page fantasy adventure novella is part of the Sword & Scroll series. It can be read first as an introduction to the world.
