From The Publisher:
"In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet." That's the old story everyone knows. But now a new story is in the making. The story of Fray, sweeping a trail of destruction across the Carpet-and of two brothers on an adventure to end all adventures.
