KEDRIGERN
IN WANDERLAND

The wizard Kedrigern, connoisseur of counterspells, is now happily married. Well, fairly happily. His bride has confessed that she longs for her own magic wand - and good ones are hard to come by. Homeloving Kedrigern will have to hit the road again in search of the perfect wand - this time with his wife Princess by his side.

Instead of a wand they find a talking sword, once the Princess Louise. Kedrigern sees very quickly why someone turned the Princess Louise into something inanimate, and if he were not such a gentleman he would have a lot more to say on the subject. But at least she promises to help him on his quest in return for his help in claiming her lost kingdom.

Home is beginning to look farther and farther away, as Kedrigern and Princess contend with a passel of second-rate sorcerers, a three-hundred-year-old curse to which everyone has forgotten the punch line, and the trials of traveling with a whining weapon.

Praise for the KEDRIGERN books:

"Enjoyable... fun... Kedrigern is an adequately crusty protagonist and his house troll, Spot, is a delight."
- FANTASY REVIEW

"Quite funny!"
- STARLOG

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
