Simon never wanted to meet an ogre. He never wanted to face a town full of terrors armed with an Acme Kitchen Wonder. But Simon was a con man who got caught and sentenced to deliver mail in the lovely town of Festeron.

It would have been an easy sentence if Festeron hadn't turned into the town of Witchville. Suddenly, Festeron wasn't lovely any more. The postmaster wanted to cancel him. The librarion wanted to shelve him. The Boot Patrol wanted to kick him. And Gloria, sweet Gloria, the girl of his dreams, was dating the entire Patrol.

Armed with a magic radio and a kitchen appliance, Simon must face ogres, grues, wraiths, and one really mean librarian to turn Witchville back into Festeron again.

Anesi was the grandson of the wizard Stribel Wartworth, but he'd never really studied magic. His father had pulled him out of the university after less than one semester. Anesi wasn't even allowed to use the little magic he knew.

Then the entire Thriff Guild of Enchanters came to his family's little house in the woods. The whole world was threatened by the evil of the Great Terror, and they were helpless before it. To fight the Great Terror would require a magical prodigy, one who was untouched by the petty temptations of a wizard's life.

It would require Anesi. With his friends at his side -- Fidget, Cubby the brogmoid, and Tyrillee the dryad -- he began his march to the south to face the greatest danger his world had ever known.

Dark days have come to Quendor and the city of Borphee. Caspar Wartsworth, a would-be adventurer and part-time barbarian, gets more than he bargained for when he stumbles into town. First he's arrested. Then he's sent to war as a galley slave.

Surviving a shipwreck, Caspar begins assembling a party of adventurers: an incompetent wizard, a sleeping princess, and an inexperienced thief. Their quest -- to free the Borphee Guild of Wizards!

But if encounters with kobolds, cutthroats, an enchanted castle, and an ugly old witch are more than they bargained for, how are they going to defeat King Duncanthrax -- and the whole army of Quendor?
