A bleak swamp of stinking fogs, frigid pools of black water, razor-sharp reeds, slimy mud holes and bottomless sinkholes, the Boggs are a dreadful and dangerous region of Unicornicopia about which many bizarre and frightening legends have been told.Reports of more screams soon reach Lord Altherion and Lady Acadia, the co-leaders of Unicornicopia. In an attempt to discover what is happening in the Bitter Boggs, they send their niece, Gaylynn, a beautiful, brilliant and bold young scientist, and her Personal Elph, Lynnie, to research the Boggs and find the source of the screams. But, Gaylynn and Lynnie must somehow accomplish this without going into the Boggs, for Altherion and Acadia have forbidden anyone from entering them!On the other side of the Malice Thorn hedge, Grymm, banished in the Infinite Vineyard of Sallow Grapes, also hears the eerie cries emanating from the Bitter Boggs. Curious and strangely disturbed by the screams, he defies the law, crosses the hedge and enters Unicornicopia for the first time in over one hundred cycles. There, under a bright Halo Moon on a narrow strip of land between the Boggs and the IVSG, Grymm and his obsessively devoted Personal Elph, Grimppo, meet their destiny and their doom. And deep in the Bitter Boggs a mysterious battle rages on, unseen and unknown, but affecting everything and everyone - unicorns, Elphs, and even dragons - in Unicornicopia! Lives will be changed, fates transformed, and the very land itself will be permanently altered before it's all over.
