On Friday the thirteenth, in the dead of winter, a beautiful woman named Pim chains up her werewolf lover in anticipation of the full moon. Yet when the orb rises blue and later turns to blood, her lover disappears and the castle of her vampire friend, Count Gorblud, is burned to the ground. So begins another tale of Retslu, a fantasy land in the tradition of Oz or Xanth, with humor, satire, love and adventure.<\/p>\n

Some of the many quirky characters include: Pim, the lovely gypsy girl in love with a beast; Mordrake, the sorcerer who wants King Skeemer to stop bugging him about the ultimate magical weapon; Doctor Nemesis, the evil scientist who turns the moon blue and forgets to change it back; the youthful King Black Pawn who worries that his mother will make him marry a haughty noblewoman; the sinister Gnorduc who wipes the mind of the king's father returned from exile; Hokum, an illusionist pretending to be a real sorcerer; Lord Noise and Clank, a bumbling dragon-fighter and his metal assistant; and many more.<\/p>\n

In addition, there is a castle whose labyrinth passages trap anyone who enters it, an enormous crystal ball that broadcasts the news of the future, a war fought with wooden soldiers, a magical painting that transports people to the lair of the ferocious red dragon, and other monsters, magic and mayhem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n \t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n
