Wizard's Gambit

Wizard White Beard had a plan, but destiny had something else in mind . . . After 1,001 years of hostilities among the six-er-seven kingdoms, Wizard White Beard proposes a non-violent alternative to war-a scavenger hunt-to determine the fate of all! The rules are clear: no weapons and no bloodshed. Just clean, honest competition. Simple enough, if only the contestants would follow them. With the fate of the world at stake, it's up to Mongrel, an orphan with an unconventional upbringing, to intercede. Joined by a hodgepodge group of misfits, including a gentle giant, a magically challenged elf, a feisty female dwarf, and a reluctant wizard's apprentice, Mongrel just might stand a chance of winning-if he can survive!A hilarious tale of magic, mayhem, and misadventure that turns the classic fantasy universe on its head. A must-read for anyone who enjoys comedic fantasy.
