CAN A SECULAR SOVEREIGN SURVIVE IN A WORLD OF PURE GOOD AND EVIL? 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 malevolent 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. An even harsher reality awaited Matt: cutthroat court politics vying for control of Latruria's King... and if he refused to be controlled, he'd have to be eliminated. To keep Latruria's secular monarch on the throne, Matt would have to square off against corrupt conspirators and sinister sorcerers backed by all the power of Hell. In the end, the Lord Wizard would face the ultimate test of magic - and he would need a lot of help to pass!

Christopher Stasheff (1944 - 2018) ha trascorso la sua prima infanzia a Mount Vernon, New York, e i successivi anni della sua formazione nella città di Ann Arbor, nel Michigan. Ha sempre avuto difficoltà a distinguere la realtà dalla fantasia e ha provato a compensare questa sua lacuna diventando un insegnante universitario. Quando l'insegnamento si è rivelato un mestiere troppo ancorato alla realtà, vi ha rinunciato a favore di una carriera da scrittore, dedicandosi ad essa a tempo pieno. Ha provato a scrivere la sua vita, ma non riusciva a capire come mai le altre persone non si esprimessero con le parole giuste. Ciò ha causato una discreta quantità di malintesi con la moglie e i loro quattro figli. È diventato uno scrittore di romanzi perché era l'unico modo per essere al contempo sia il regista, sia l'ideatore degli eventi, sia il cast di attori.Chris è morto nel 2018 a causa del Morbo di Parkinson. I suoi amici, la sua famiglia, i suoi fan e i suoi studenti lo ricorderanno sempre per la sua natura buona e gentile, per la sua disponibilità nel guidare e fare da mentore a chiunque lo chiedesse, e per il suo arguto senso dell'umorismo. I suoi terribili giochi di parole, tuttavia, verranno dimenticati il prima possibile.
