Story Summary:

Growing up as a traveler, the minstrel never found a permanent home but found purpose in sharing his songs. His music touched lives and took him on journeys far and wide. When a powerful curse fell upon the land, he built a game as a weapon to confront the evil. Yet, darkness struck back, breaking the game and sending the minstrel into hiding.

It is on a remote island that he meets the mermaid, a being of pure light who rekindles his hope. But the minions of darkness are relentless, poisoning the minstrel’s heart and weakening the mermaid’s magic. In a final act of courage, they both face the darkness together, wielding the healing power of their love and music. Their journey becomes a light for others, leading a legion of minstrels and mermaids into battle and finally bringing peace to the world.

Together, they create a new game, one where love and light prevail, and the minstrels are slaves no more. A fairytale ending, rich in wonder and imbued with hope.

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
