Something’s foul in Brieshire—and it’s not the milk.
Once a picture of peaceful farm life, the dairy capital of the region is under threat. Prize cows are falling ill, farmers are desperate, and a creeping danger buzzes just beneath the surface. It’ll take sharp wits and sharper blades to uncover the truth before Brieshire’s livelihood collapses.
