A FORGOTTEN DOOR, FORSAKEN LORE, AND A FAILING WARD... Marial is too nice for her own good. Tucked away in the woodland paradise of Danderroot she lives the perfect life. But her gnome family has forgotten what they left buried under their happy feet. Marial, along with her friends Pickwick and Willifurd, must descend the forsaken paths and investigate the deadly dangers that lie Beneath the Beneath. Ideally by supper time. But armed only with a ukulele, hope, and a hairbrush, Marial is more likely to become dinner... She discovers a dark world crawling with rotten things who can't even spit out the word "nice". Faced with failure and ruin, Marial weaves wonders, wins over an unlikely ally, faces hard truth, and abandons nice for good.
