Tryle is a teenage goblin living in the Woodlands, a sprawling forest of magical creatures.  For his village, hunting, foraging, scavenging, and the robbing of the occasional passing human is a way of life.  His progressive mindset and eccentric interest in magical science make him a misfit in the village.  So when Tryle is forced to participate in the robbery of a newly discovered human grandmother living on the outskirts of the Woodlands, he strives to follow their way of plunder.  But upon befriending the human grandma (who is more mysterious than she initially appears to be), Tryle has the opportunity to chart a new path for his village's future.
