New light fantasy from the author of, Bad Spell in Yurt. When the king goes on vacation, Daimbert, wizard to the king, learns there's a great deal to be said for the quiet life, as he faces an all-too-beguiling wood nymph, a plague of magical horned rabbits, a scandalous duchess's fondess for young wizards, and a zombie-like creature made with spells they never taught at wizard school.
