Godfrid Forke and the Secret Society of Tumblers, Minstrels, and Thespians Mark David Stallard

Troupes of entertainers are making the rounds. At night, people gather to watch the good Bob Parfin facing off against the evil Sheriff of Warptonshire. Women swoon at his name and men and faery folk alike want to be him. But Under Sheriff Godfrid Forke knows that Bob Parfin is the most brutal of all villains. Because he has met him. He has fought him. He has seen the devastation. Trolls and elves are working together to on elaborate schemes to separate good people from their money. Is there more to the cozeners' schemes? Minstrels and thespians put on crowd pleasing shows. But is there more to them than just entertainment? And amidst all this chaos, Lord Dyster is under threat from an assassin's bullet. The future doesn't look bright, because all that stands between Lord Dyster's safety and the whispers of the conspiratorial travelling entertainers and conmen is Godfrid Forke and his handful of misfit soldiers...and a delusional imp called Captain Diddley.
