When the world as we know it is a distant memory, and nature has reclaimed the land, what marks will we leave behind? What are the stories that will remain and who will tell them…? Welcome to the New Wild!
Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, unshackled from human greed, the fantastical creatures of myth and legend and nature have begun to roam the Moorlands again. Elves, oracles and giants, Moorlanders of all kinds bustle in the New Wild Market, a meeting place where people trade stories and songs for goods and services. But all is not well, as the Wallaby Queen begins to impose new rules on the marketplace and a return to the old ways of living. Join Diglet and Megany as they uncover brooding secrets, awaken legends, and overcome dangers to meet the mysterious creature at the top of the hill…
