The Story
Links
between the Twentieth Century and the era of the Dungeon have been
dormant for several years, but the civil war between 'The
Powers-That-Be' and 'The Opposition' continues. Caught between the two
forces in the conflict are the Grey Sisterhood, now resident in the new
colony of Ambrohame.
Desperate to renew her people's dwindling powers, the Witch Queen
Greystagg sends an emissary, Heggatty, to seek out new sources of witch
amber. During her mission, Heggatty is attacked by the Opposition, and
needs Treguard and Stiletta to come to her aid.
Caught in a situation where combat is impossible, Treguard and his
mortal enemy, Lord Fear, must each battle with words to induce terror
in the other to decide the fate of the Grey Sisters... with the balance
of the entire war resting on the outcome.
Using themes and characters devised by award-winning TV Producer Tim Child, Famous For Retreating is a close study of some of the prominent personalities from the series he created, attempting to flesh out their histories and to offer a new perspective on their motivations.
