His friends aren't much goblins whose favorite pastime is messing things up, trolls with anger management issues, an over-achieving fire scepter, and an uncooperative magic mirror. Aside from that, all he has to worry about is a war. And that's the trouble. Throughout recorded history the goblins have never won a battle, let alone a war.

William Bradshaw has been trapped on the world of Other Place as King of the Goblins for an entire year, no small accomplishment! In that time he’s beaten the army of Kervol Ket, destroyed the dreaded Staff of Skulls and most recently buried the immortal madmen of the Eternal Army. He’s also managed to keep from being driven mad by his short, stupid and mildly crazy goblin followers, who respect him even if they won’t listen to him. Now he faces a greater challenge, matrimony. Lydia Lajcak of the Fairy Godmothers has arrived in the Kingdom of the Goblins to find Will a wife. It turns out that being broke and in charge of a nation of idiots isn’t the relationship killer Will thought it was. Lydia isn’t taking no for an answer, and she’s got seventy clients eager to meet Will and desperate enough to put up with his goblins. Is marital bliss in Will’s future? But the search for true love takes a turn for the worse when an assassin attacks Will and Lydia. More assassins follow, each one more deadly than the last and sent by Quentin Peck, the richest man on Other Place. Peck has killers, mercenaries, magic weapons, golems, lawyers and the home court advantage when Will tracks him to the city of Nolod. Will is determined to win or go down fighting with his enthusiastic fire scepter, countless goblins, troll bodyguards, magic mirror and Lydia. Now if he only knew why Peck wants him dead.
