What's in Festivael? Magic, mayhem, murder, mistaken identities, and an exceptionally fine tavern. Epic romances, love--and dislike--at first sight, and lust gone horribly wrong. A pirate Princess, two powerful witches, three ghosts, several mystical charlatans, one cheerful assassin, a retired Royal Headsman and his tremendous grave-digger wife, an innkeeper with a fondness for tragic songs and thin widows, and three hundred barbarian invaders. Large and small acts of heroism, suspense and silliness and sex, and a demonic suit of armor with enough power to level a city. At the center of all these people and situations is one gentle, hapless man: Orban of Brandylse, the Bookworm King.

Sprawling, bawdy and comedic, and full of vivid and unusual characters, Festivael will make you laugh, cry, and wonder how it can all turn out right in the end. Festivael at times evokes and pays homage to such authors as Peter Beagle, Terry Pratchett, and William Goldman, and Shakespeare's various comedies--as if edited by Monty Python.
