Are you the kind of person who cheers for the underdog? Or in this case, under-gargoyle, homunculus, or orc? When the action's at its fullest, are you peering past the hero or heroine, looking to see what the supporting cast is up to? If so, this is the anthology for you! From a feline familiar who's got to fill his boss's shoes to a minotaur who is forced to fight to entertain humans, and trolls who are completely out of control, Misunderstood is twenty-six tales of the characters who usually stand on the sidelines supporting either the derring-do or dastardly deeds of the main character. You've read their tantalizing few lines in popular fiction. Now read their stories, and hopefully they will no longer be-misunderstood.
