Review Summaries
"A young boy has grown up in a castle with his mentor and guardian. He has always been warned away from one tower in the castle. He entertains himself by exploring all the nooks and hidden secrets of the castle. One day he discovers the way to the dungeon where he meets Igor. Accidentally one day he discovers what was in the forbidden tower. The souls of millions of goblins, who, because of their long imprisonment, want to seek revenge on humans for their betrayal and imprisonment. The young boy must leave the castle for the first time in his life and try to stop the goblins from attacking."
