When the arrogant Crown Prince Gaheris of Bretanglia is murdered during a tavern brawl in Merovence, war between the neighboring kingdoms seems inevitable. Lord Wizard Matthew Mantrell suspects the killing was no accident and begins an investigation that leads him into a web of political intrigue, false druids, sinister sorcery, and supernatural forces.

Collector Notes
This is the sixth novel in Christopher Stasheff’s popular Wizard in Rhyme series. Later books in the series generally had smaller print runs than the original trilogy, making them somewhat harder to locate in collectible condition today. Collectors often seek complete matching Del Rey paperback sets of all eight novels.
