โฆ Synopsis
In a land where peace is threatened by assassins, invading armies and unhappy peasants, one knight must be brave enough to protect the kingdom.
But Roderick doesn't want to be that knight!
When Queen Emily sends her knights on a grand quest, Sir Roderick wants to stay behind. Reluctantly, he ventures forth beyond the Forest of Gilderang (filled with fearsome creatures) to the
Circle of Mountains, home to giant cockroaches. En route, he meets an invisible girl, a talking bear and the most famous sorcerer in the land.
When war threatens, Roderick must choose between a chance for glory and doing what's right.
One of the funniest adventures you'll read this year.
