INVASION OF THE PLATED FOLK!

The elders of Polastrindu watched in horror as Clothahump, wizard and turtle, spun visions of the coming invasion.  Finally the Plated Folk had a magic potent enough to penetrate Zaryt's Teeth and the warmlands, igniting a devastating war between the species.  The wizard and his earthly helper, Jonathan Thomas Meriweather, grad student and rock guitarist, must undertake the voyage into enemy territory in search of allies against the evil hordes from beyond.

So Jon-Tom, Clothahump, Mudge the Otter, flame-haired Talea and their motley crew set on a suicide mission down the treacherous river that winds through the subterranean lair of Massawrath, Mother of Nightmares, across HglIdrink through a tunnel of cold flame to the center of the earth.  It is a perilous journey few have attemped, and none have ever survived...

Now the peace-loving student must become a soldier and crusader, fighting with sword and song.  For strumming his otherworldly duar, he is the maker of magic, his music conjuring configurations, transforming Jon Meriweather into the SPELLSINGER

FANTASTIC VOYAGE

Clothahunip, the wizard, is dying.  All that can save him are rare medicinal powders to be found across the Glittergeist Ocean, past distant Snarken.  Jon Tom, the Spellsinger, sets out on the most perilous pilgrimage of his still-young career armed with only his music-making duar and a reluctant Mudge, the otter, as his guide.  Along the way he conjures up Roseroar, Amazonian tiger, rescues Jalwar, the ferret, and together they free Folly, the beauty, from bondage!  Spellsinger and his motley crew press on, confronting a forest of Fungoid Frankensteins on the Muddletop Moors, a parrot pirate on the high seas, cannibal fairies in the enchanted canyon, and the evil wizard of Malderpot who poses the greatest challenge of all!

"TROPICAL, FRIENDLY, AND
LARGELY UNINHABITED"
was how Clothahump the wizard had described the swamps of the south.  But from warring colonies of tough-talking prairie dogs, to the magical mime-vines, to a mammoth mountain of living muck and a hidden colony of dreaded Plated Folk, Jon-Tom the spellsinger and his otter comrade Mudge find their journey southward full of strong spells and deadly foes.

Should they ever reach the city of Quasequa, their mission is to unman the mysterious new magician, Marcus the Ineluctable.  But Marcus' forces seem unlimited, his hunger for power insatiable, and his influence over his followers total.  Is the spellsinging magic of Jon-Tom enough to save Quasequa - and all of the wizard's world?

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

Nobody wants to be around when a freak of supernature called a Perambulator enters the world, bringing with it some really weird shifts in the fabric of existence like suddenly turning Jon-Tom into a giant blue crab, or Mudge the Otter into a nasty disease...

But the mad Perambulator is there to stay, unless the wizard Clothahump can muster all his power and boot it into the next dimension.  So, despite the bumblings of Sorbl the drunken owl and the fitful runes of a koala amateur wizard, Jon-Tom, Mudge, and Clothahump make their way ever deeper into the realms where Chaos perambulates... to find a deadly foe that only the combined forces of illogic can hope to defeat....

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME...

It was a pretty good life for a spellsinger from L.A.  He'd battled demons, fought deadly Plated Folk, even met a socialist dragon and survived: Now Jon-Tom was quite happy to settle into domestic bliss with the fiery Talea, study magic, and practice spellsinging on his duar.  But the magic instrument is broken when Jon-Tom protects the wizard Clothahump from thieves and he must set out across the Glittergeist Sea to find the one person who can fix it.  With the irrepressible Mudge the Otter as a traveling companion, only the unexpected can happen.  But cannibal muskrats, ogres, and a fierce pirate king parrot seem ordinary indeed when Jon-Tom finds a way back to Earth and he must choose which world is home.

CALL HIM -
SPELLMASTER B

Much to Clothahump the Wizard’s distress, ex-hippie Jon-Tom and otherworldly Talea’s son Buncan wants to be a questing hero, but not a spellsinger.  Instead, he forms a band with Mudge’s kids, otters Nocter and Squill, one that creates a wild, unpredictable magic - based on rap!

Then an anteater arrives with rumors about a dangerous legend.  Soon the young rappers, aided by a drunk rhino, are off on an odyssey to a fortress where evil sorcerers threaten the world.  And where only the unknown power of Buncan’s beat can stop the hordes of hideous hybrids.
