THE QUESTING
OF KEDRIGERN

His name is Kedrigern. Wizard extraordinaire. Counterspell expert. Lazy homebody. And when he's asked to lecture at the annual wizard's convention, his lady friend Princess is delighted to get out of the house.

But tragedy strikes the Wizcon when a pair of drunken conjurers inadvertently turn Princess into a toad. Again. And since counterspells only work once, it's up to Kedrigern to go out and find a new solution.

So begins a most extraordinary quest. With strange companions at his side - and Death at his heels - Kedrigern must cross a maelstrom of magic and a sudden detour into a dangerous future land called L.A. - or else his Princess will have to live on a diet of flies for the rest of her life!

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.
