The Goodness Potion and its Side-Effects OUT NOW! #actionadventure #fantasy #fairytales  

There's good and bad in everyone. Except Tom.

Tom used to think his life was pretty ordinary. Just another orphan, sleeping in the cellar of his uncle's pub with plenty of rats to chase. But then things started to change, both in the land of Boden-Rine and in young Tom's heart.

As everything he knows falls to pieces, a stranger from a far-off land arrives in town, a burly man with antlers on the sides of his head who spins a story of deadly adventure and world-ending peril. Oh, and something about a baby who once drank a potion with the power to split a person into either a wholly good or an entirely bad version of themselves. A story whose main character is... Tom. Now, his life and the fate of the world depend on the answer to a single question: Which is he: good or bad?
