Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
A fierce old noblewoman about to lose her country.
And the thieving magpie who puts them on a collision course full of laughter, danger and plot twists galore!
Malfred Murd is supremely talented but undeniably abrasive. Freshly booted from his 20-year gig as the Royal Jester, Fred is finding it tough to jingle out a living on the street, even with the dubious help of a sassy talking bird.
He isn’t thinking of the future when rival buskers chase him into a Tekologically advanced country that, like him, lies squarely in the King’s disfavor. He has no idea that the ruler of this country has made plans to save her people— plans that are rapidly unraveling, missing messenger, ominous omen and all.
So when Fred’s flying friend brings him a bag that looks to be full of shinies, his decision to try and wring a little reward money out of the situation doesn’t seem particularly perilous. But surprise! It lands him in the midst of a rescue mission gone horribly, hilariously wrong.

Giới thiệu tác giả
Even as she was writing loving descriptions of applewood smoked bacon, luxury real estate and computer parts, advertising copywriter (and longtime illustrator) Eva Sandor had a feeling she would someday create a fictional world full of humor, speculation and joyous wordplay. Join her there and treat yourself to “funny fantasy that hides a serious soul”.
Eva is a graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University, where she learned to work and play hard in equal proportion, and of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the perfect environment for her alternately wry and ridiculous sense of humor. She lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, their horse and a constant stream of creative projects.
