Synopsis
Kingdom of Trash, a comic-fantasy novel, centers around a trash golem—a being constructed for the sole purpose of hauling trash—who has spent his entire life isolated from the world with a collection of discarded books as his only company. The story develops through the eyes of an ensemble cast of diverse characters, including an ambitious Master-Sergeant with dreams of captaining her own ship, a young orphan hell-bent on avenging his people, and an infinitely curious gnome conducting field research on human society. When the aptly named Trashy is recruited to the kingdom's peacekeeping force, the Greywatch, his distinctly un-golem-like desire to become more than a tool for waste disposal drives him to set out on an eye-opening journey into the heart of a decades long power struggle. The death of the king some twenty years prior threw the kingdom into a state of chaos—held together through the valiant efforts of Garius Grey—and set the stage for the sort of heroic adventure Trashy had only read about.
