"I love this book! It has everything. It's enchanting, captivating and just fabulous. I'm going to read it again." —Mike M.
Ex-jester Malfred Murd is back— and this time, he's tackling a task that’s outrageous even for him: turning undercover cop, out to bust the biggest, scariest mob boss in a great, grimy city overflowing with secrets.
Daring. Deception. And more, more, more! Revisit the characters from FOOL’S PROOF as their story deepens, darkens and expands to include more of their mildly magical fantasy world. Interweaving storylines abound:
After three generations of estrangement, Dame Elsebet is the first de Whellen to meet her King and Queen. She welcomes them joyfully— until a monster attack shatters all her plans.
With her shy but lovable new husband at her side, the magnificent, ever-composed Ata Maroo finally reaches her homeland in the Peaceful Ocean and confronts a fearsome force of nature: her mother.
Intelligent magpie Corvinalias takes wing on the adventure to begin all adventures...
...and the mind-meltingly wealthy de Brewels push decadent, obtuse cluelessness to stratospheric levels of hilarity.
Journey into a world blending "equal parts comedy, crime novel and adventure" among cultures both admirable and abominable. Plotlines separate, then careen back together, into a powerful— yet playful— conclusion.
