Fire and Blood, Magic and Mysticism,
traitors and priests: Count Scar must deal with
them all to hold his high castle

It's not surprising that the daughter of a witch and a wizard has some innate magical aptitude, and Daimbert is more that willing to nurture her talent. But he's finding he also has to play dad to the rest of the younger generation of Yurt. Plus, deal with an exoctic eastern princess, an enormous fenris-wolf, and a bogus miracle worker named Cyrus.

The tiny kingdom of Yurt is the perfect place, or so it seems, for a young wizard who barely graduated from wizards' school, especially after all that embarrassment with the frogs. But a lurking presence of evil makes Daimbert realize he'll have to use all the magic he never learned properly in the first place, with his life the price of failure. Good thing he knows how to improvise

New light fantasy from the author of, Bad Spell in Yurt. When the king goes on vacation, Daimbert, wizard to the king, learns there's a great deal to be said for the quiet life, as he faces an all-too-beguiling wood nymph, a plague of magical horned rabbits, a scandalous duchess's fondess for young wizards, and a zombie-like creature made with spells they never taught at wizard school.

Five men from Yurt?the king, his nephew, the prince, a wizard, and a priest?encounter intrigue, treachery, black magic, and a big blue djinn on their journey, and only the wizard's cleverness can save their lives.

Love and magic don't mix, and neither do wizardry and the church. But that doesn't stop Daimbert, the royal wizard of Yurt. When Daimbert discovers that the woman he's loved for years is marrying someone else, he decides to leave Yurt for Caelrhon. But no one wants him there and he senses hidden sinister plots at work.
