Now with the help of a talking statue of a god, an outcast hyena, a shadow-being of indeterminate origin, and an oracular slug, she seeks to find out where she is and how to go about getting back to her Warren.ĭigger is the story of a very practical heroine lost very far from home, getting mixed up with things she'd really rather not be involved in.
