Irresistible fantasy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author
Wardwick of Hurog wishes to live in peace. Destiny has other plans. He
is about to be arrested and imprisoned in the Asylum for Nobel
Embarrassments and Inconveniences. Worse still, Ward has learned that
the same man bent on his imprisonment, Jakoven Tallven, High King of the
Five Kingdoms, is seeking Hurog blood to activate the supernatural
equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction.
Once again Ward must play the fool to survive. Yet, that will not
suffice. Ward's closest companions all must risk their lives and
fortunes to keep Jakoven and his malevolent mage Jade Eyes from
destroying their world.
