The Witch Doctor

Saul Bremener didn’t have so many friends that he could afford to lose one without a fight.

So when Matt Mantrell disappeared from the university one day with not a word to anybody, Saul canvassed students, family, and even the police.

Nobody had any leads. Then he climbed through a kitchen window into Matt’s apartment, where he found festoons of spider webs and a scrap of parchment covered in runes – magical runes…Like Matt before him, Saul was swept away into a world of magic – and into a maelstrom of desperate danger. For in this world where poetry held the power of enchantment, Saul’s love of verse made him a puissant wizard. And his search for his missing friend soon earned him a fearsome foe: a false monarch without peer in the realms of wickedness and corruption.
