Peter Placket dreams of being a hero. Like most heroes he's confident, charismatic, and cunning. Moreover, he works at a fire station, the perfect venue for showcasing his bravery. There's just one small problem: He's made out of paper.

How can Peter be heroic when the fire chief forbids him to get within ten yards of fires?

The answer comes one day when the lower classes revolt against the aristocracy, turning the Apple Kingdom, Peter's home, into a war zone. Realizing that someone must put an end to the violence, Peter flees to the countryside, searching for an ancient talisman that renders its user all powerful. Only as a sorcerer can Peter return to the Apple Kingdom and conquer the rebel army.

Joining Peter in his quest is Eve the Wanderer, a selfish nomad striving to become more selfless; Johnny Applegänger, a living statue so intimidated by the world around him that, quite frankly, he'd rather be inanimate; and Sally Watermark, a paper doll who Peter would probably like to marry . . . if only he didn't suspect her of being a spy.

It's a perilous journey that will take the group from one end of the land of Staplehorn to the other. Along the way they'll encounter all manner of strange creatures, witness magic as fascinating as it is deadly, attempt to cross an uncrossable sea, and visit an island that technically doesn't exist.

Ultimately, the talisman they seek may do more than help Peter end the revolution - it may provide the answer to a mystery as old as time!
