Beauly (The Messenger Series, #11)

The Constable for Beauly resigned suddenly. The Beauly Town Council asked Dúnbarnaugh for help, so as a diplomatic gesture, they send the Messenger and Keeper of the Realm.

Toby goes to meet the fine people of Beauly, who upon seeing the Prime amulet, point guns at Toby's face.

Apparently, the Messenger of the Realm eats babies.
