Back Cover:
A small oasis lies along a major trade route through the desert, and The Desert Beetle Inn is not only the most popular establishment in the area, it is the only one! A favorite of merchants and travelers alike, anyone with enough gold can explore their every desire.
Most travelers fail to notice the small items that have gone missing. They manage to ignore the strange sounds in the surrounding desert. And the twisted footprints occasionally seen near the water hole mean nothing. Hushed tales of missing children are laughed away.
That is, until an important young girl disappears somewhere along the trade route... the teenage daughter of a wealthy merchant. With the gold and the will to find his missing child, he intends to stop at nothing to secure her safety.
