For years he has supplied the tools others needed to enter the darkness, taking their coin and shaking his head at their foolish quests for riches and adventure. He was merely their merchant, handing swords and torches to men hungry for their own doom in the depths of the Pit.  

But when his daughter goes missing, Burt begins to fear those same dark gloomy passages may be his only chance of finding the last light in his life. With only his young apprentice Pete at his side and hope fading as fast as his torch’s oil, will Burt be able to locate his beloved Bea and save her? Or will the twisting menaces within the Pit claim the life of the SHOPKEEP?
