What starts out as Valerius just taking a stranger's money quickly turns into the biggest and most dangerous mystery he's ever tried to crack - and Valerius is running out of time to solve it.Now Autumn's abandoned history - and the monsters and heroes that adorn it - are emerging from the shadows to threaten the few remaining things Valerius holds dear. Can the burned-out detective navigate the labyrinth of lies and maze of blind faith around him to save the City of Autumn from its greatest myth and deadliest threat?

In the Stahlbaum house, he takes on the role of a boy named Fritz who, under the command of the Nutcracker Prince, must save his sister Clara from the onslaught of the Mouse King and his army of rodent soldiers.

Anthony must bring Mira out of her catatonic state so that she can fight one last time, or her life and the lives of all she loves will be lost.

When we last left our adventurers, the Massive Ball of Death was massively balling toward the certain death of all Bersch's inhabitants. The secret to stopping the destruction and saving the world-if it should, indeed, be saved-is hidden away deep in the desert sands.Joining their crew is the slightly crazy, time/space traveling professor who also happens to be Xharon's daddy. And who also happens to really want her to wear more than just her knickers, much to Bip's dismay. But, back to the tale! Bip and his crew must race against the clock to unearth the secret weapon before the mad emperor can use it for total galactic annihilation. Will our brave adventurers beat the clock?

After announcing to the public that the Massive Ball of Death is coming to destroy everything, Bip finds himself locked away with the other criminally insane.

Joining their band of misfits is Azron, Genuine Diamond Geezer (1stclass) and Xharon, a nearly nude warrior princess. Traveling across the face of Bersch, these four adventurers, albeit somewhat reluctant, must brave raging giants, the fountain of death, and savage birdmen to ensure their message reaches the ears of the very emperor who has been trying to imprison them. With these three gems saving the world, what's the worst that could happen?
