When the Holy One calls three new leaders to govern the sacred land of Shavron, Gideon the rabbit was not to be chosen. A great scandal quickly ensues as the Holy One chooses Gideon from the crowd to lead his beloved country into battle against an oncoming threat from afar. But there's one problem:
Gideon can't fight.
He has no experience and is hailed as a weak fool. His nation viciously turns against him. A close friend formulates a plan, betraying Gideon without a slither of remorse. Soon he's ripped away from his homeland to rot in a festering prison, and is forgotten with no hope of fulfilling his divine calling.
In this gripping adventure of friendship and forgiveness, Gideon must find a way of escape, return to Shavron, and face his own bitterness. He must do battle with a witch and an army of murderous leopards along the journey. But can he survive all that is against him? Can Gideon forgive the treachery laid at his feet or will he be nothing more than hapless?
