I think it might be possible my chickens love me. I shouldn’t be surprised I guess, but the thought sounds a bit absurd.  I have told you all before about the morning routine of opening the coop door and hugging each of them as they make their way out of the coop to eat bugs in the yard.  The other day I didn’t hug them. I just opened the coop door and went about my business of adding fresh bedding to the nest box. They hovered around, clucking at me, and wouldn’t go out into the yard. So I picked each of them up, one by one, gave them a hug and set them down. Each waited their turn. After the last was hugged I set back to work on the bedding. They then went off to hunt bugs. Could it be they really wanted their hug?

Strange and legendary Dremlock Kingdom is facing destruction from both within and beyond its stone walls in the form of goblins–creatures spawned by evil that come in all shapes and sizes–and the Deep Shadow, a hungry and spreading force of dark sorcery that infects people with madness.

To save their kingdom, the knights recruit a lonely and isolated boy named Lannon who lives in a wooded valley with his crazy father, who bears a dark illness of the soul, and his foul-tempered mother. Lannon is sought out because he possesses a rare power called the Eye of Divinity.

With the help of his friends, Lannon tries desperately to unlock the Eye of Divinity in time to save Dremlock Kingdom from otherwise certain doom. With the Deep Shadow creeping around the kingdom and infecting hearts and minds, Lannon isn’t sure if anyone in Dremlock can even be trusted.
