About this Item

Life should have been looking up in Latruria, the sundrenched land south of Merovence. The wicked old king was dead. His grandson, Boncorro, had ascended the throne, and the country rejoiced. Years of suffering had ended: taxes were down and the populace prospered. Folk could worship as they chose, for King Boncorro refused to submit his kingdom to the rule of Evil. So what was amiss? Why was turmoil spreading beyond Latruria's boundaries? Could there possibly be any truth to the imponderable rumors that young King Boncorro also spurned the rule of Good? Condition: Boards have shelf wear, corner bumping and spine wear to head and foot. Pages are clean and binding is firm. Dust jacket has some chipping at head and foot of spine and shelf wear.

About this title

Synopsis

THE WANDERING WIZARD
In sunny Latruria, the wicked old king was dead, and the new king spurned the rule of Evil. But turmoil began to spread, even across the border, when the new king also resisted Good! In nearby Merovence, Lord Wizard Matt Mantrell donned a disguise and set off to investigate--never dreaming that Latruria's sinister prime minister was mobilizing his minions...
"Minstrel" Matt sang his way south, dodging deadly enemies and music critics alike. He was teamed with a lovesick lad, menaced by a manticore, haunted by a ghost from Greece, and swept along in a flood of youngsters fleeing the provinces for the "glamour" of the city. But when they all washed up in the capital, harsh reality awaited them, not gold-paved streets.
And even harsher reality awaited Matt. The Lord Wizard faced the ultimate test of magic--and he would need a lot of help to pass!
