Private Inquisitor Jak Barley needs a break after a string of perilous investigations involving evil viper mages, rampaging dragons, stolen fairy gold and very annoyed assassins. So what could go wrong with helping a kindly old woman find her missing pet wyvern? Plenty. His search takes a deadly turn when it leads him to a secret society and the survivor of an ancient race of malevolent beings. And once again Lorenzo Spasm, a friend who claims to be from an alternative world where magic does not exist, pulls him into a tangle of conspiracies involving a palace coup, deadly magical artifacts and a kidnapping. Luckily for Jak, he also has the aid of his intended, the young witch Morgana.

Private Inquisitor Jak Barley hates adventures, and with good reasons after barely surviving past cases involving vicious piss dragons, vengeful necromancers, annoying assassins, cranky goblins, gruesome ghouls and angry old gods—and that’s not even including having a terrifying witch as a future mother-in-law. It’s about to begin again. How is Jak to find the heir to a throne missing since an infant—and find the prince before foreign agents do? And why are Ghennison Viper Mages trying to blast Jak into oily smoking scraps of charred meat and bones? Then there’s the rampaging thirty-foot tall idol that can only be stopped when its faraway wand (remote) is found. Lucky for Jak he has help from his alchemist and half-brother Olmsted Aunderthorn; Morgana, his intended, a witchling in training; and Lorenzo Spasm, a mysterious friend from another world where magic does not exist.

Private Inquisitor Jak Barley wonders if his drinking cohorts at the King¹sWart Inn are playing an elaborate prank on him. What else is he to thinkwhen seven dwarves want his help against a wicked witch they blame forpoisoning an innocent young maiden staying with them named Frost Ivory?

The Reformation was the seismic event in European history over the past 1000 years, and one which tore the medieval world apart. Not just European religion, but thought, culture, society, state systems, personal relations - everything - was turned upside down. Just about everything which followed in European history can be traced back in some way to the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation which it provoked. The Reformation is where the modern world painfully and dramatically began, and MacCulloch's great history of it is recognised as the best modern account.
