The second part of a series, following "Her Majesty's Wizard". Ibile is not a country in which to let out an unconsidered oath. Swearing angrily to replace an evil monarch in a neighbouring kingdom, Matt Mantrell, the Lord Wizard, finds himself bound to do exactly that by Ibile's magical rules.

Industry Reviews

A sequel to the paperback Her Majesty's Wizard (1986) finds Stasheff in the same vein as his popular "Warlock" series - with a youngish hero learning the ropes of magic in a medieval fantasy kingdom. The story features a college student from Earth transported to a world where every spoken word becomes reality. As an English major, Matt has a rich fund of "spells" at hand in the form of the poetry he remembers from Earth, and so he becomes a powerful magician, saves a kingdom, and wins the heart of its young queen. Here, Matt loses his temper and swears an oath to conquer a neighboring kingdom; of course, he immediately finds himself bound to carry out his word - no small task, since the ruler of the territory is Gordogrosso, an evil wizard of great power. Stasheff introduces a number of amusing characters to help his hero: a cyclops, a dragon, a damsel in distress, Friar Tuck, the Fates, and others more exotic, including a dracogriff. He also gets good mileage out of the tag-ends of mangled verse that Matt recites as the basis of his "spells." Palatable (if unambitious) light fare, likely to be popular with the Piers Anthony crowd. (Kirkus Reviews)
