In an anthropomorphised world, a dreadful crime has been committed. The suspects face a lethal trial under the judgement of Empress PicaPica and Emperor Beetle II. Strangely, each suspect is convinced of their own guilt, but who will ultimately be deemed the true culprit; The Priestess, The Knight, The Jester or The Beggar? An illustrated hybrid tale of poetry and prose. “What fun this is! Chaucer meets Redwall, in a thrilling, bloody, poetic courtroom drama. Its ambition shines” - Oliver K.Langmead
