The spaces in between

the long version

What makes a hero a hero? Courage? Honor? Determination? Young Gremlaw has these qualities in spades, but he wouldn't call himself a hero--these days he mainly plays the role of a thief, doing whatever it takes to survive. But when the dangerous narcotic Forever begins infiltrating the kingdom of Trathlain, Duke DeLarouge decides Gremlaw is just the thief to help him discover who is smuggling the drug across their borders. And DeLarouge will do whatever it takes to ensure that Gremlaw agrees. Forced into a dangerous mission, Gremlaw unknowingly takes the first steps of his hero's journey, willing to risk his life in order to protect the only two people he loves.
