About this ebook

CROSS THE VOID OF TIME AND SPACE! SEEK AND FIND YOUR PROPER PLACE!

Matt didn't know the scrap of parchment was a trap. So he read the runes - and found himself on a world where reciting poetry verses worked magic. His first effort got him locked in a dungeon by the evil sorcerer Malingo. Trying for light, he brought forth a fire-breathing, drunken dragon, who told him Princess Alisande, rightful ruler of Merovence, was also held in the dungeon.

Naturally, he had to free her, himself, and the dragon, using poetry lifted from Shakespeare. And because she was young and beautiful, he swore to serve as her wizard. Then he learned that his job as wizard was to fix it so the three of them could overcome all the dark magic and armies of Malingo!

The addition to the party of a lust-witch and a priest who became a werewolf now and then didn't seem much help. Matt figured he had got himself into quite a predicament.

For once, he was right!

This 25th anniversary eBook edition includes a new introduction by the author and new cover art.

Ratings and reviews

I love this book - the first in a brilliant series, but the cover makes me cry. I wish I could insert the cover from ratty well abused -loved- paperback copy so that that one would be the one in my Google library.

I really love all of his wizard series, all of them. Read it so much my book fell apart. So happy to find one as an ebook.

A good book turned sour by a boring sermon
