In The Pitchfork of Destiny, the second novel in the Charming Tales
series following A Fairy-Tale Ending, Jack Heckel brings the hilarity
of living in a magical world to readers looking for something beyond
Shrek, Xanth, and Magic Kingdom for Sale: Sold!
Life in the Kingdom of Royaume has been happily ever for King William
Pickett and his fiancée, Lady Rapunzel. But when Volthraxus, the Great
Dragon of the North, returns looking for the love of his life, the Great
Wyrm of the South, it becomes clear that some fairy tales never end.
After Volthraxus discovers his love was slain by the newly crowned king,
he seeks his revenge by kidnapping Rapunzel. Once again, Will teams up
with Edward Charming, the only man in all the kingdom with the skill,
ego, and dashing good looks to fight a dragon. Our heroes' fates depend
on finding a weapon re-forged in dragon blood--the Pitchfork of Destiny.
But as the two set off after the dragon, Charming's bride, Lady
Elizabeth, falls into the clutches of a mysterious sorcerer known as the
Dracomancer, who has his own plans for Royaume.
