The Silverleaf Forest is cursed by an eternal winter. Twilight the elf must save his people by delivering the Amulet of Spring. But what if simply handing over a shiny quest object isn't enough? What if the elves can only be saved with the help of Twilight's friends? Well, that would be truly frightening. Yellin' Helen is a barbarian warrior who can't even count. Fred is a good-natured fighter who seems no smarter than Helen. Mak-Thar is a mage who believes that every problem can be solved by cross referencing tables in The Adventurer's Guide. And Nightshade is a petty thief who wants people to think she's a round-eared elf. Maybe Twilight would be better off on a solo adventure, but his friends won't let him go alone.

They're all in this together! Along the way, they'll fight monsters, burn things down, and collect experience points, because in Fighter Fred's world, that's what good friends do. Fighter Fred and the Very Elfy Journey is the fourth novel in the Fighter Fred series, a tongue-in-cheek exploration of how bad a fantasy world could be if it were based entirely on a roleplaying game. Forests grow in hexagons. Characters discuss their hit points. Monsters live in lairs stocked according to The Adventurer's Guide. For Fighter Fred, it's all real life.
