Identity Crisis ...

Skeeve is just settling into his duties as Court Magician of Possiltum and his training as sorcererâ€™s apprentice to Aahz, his scaly green demon mentor, when Aahz is suddenly called back to his home dimension on family business. Skeeve figures he can handle things on his own for a while, but then King Roderick convinces Skeeve to use his powers of illusion to take the kingâ€™s place while Roderick takes a little â€œvacation.â€
Thatâ€™s when Hemlock, the ruthless, ambitious queen of a powerful neighboring nation, turns up to fulfill her part in an arranged marriage with Roderick. Skeeve realizes that Roderick has taken a powder, leaving the hapless magician in his place to marry his homicidal fiancÃ©e. As if dealing with a potential Black Widow isnâ€™t trouble enough, representatives of Skeeveâ€™s old nemesis, the Mob, show up. Theyâ€™re determined to find out what happened to Big Julieâ€™s army, which they sent in a previous attempt to conquer Possiltum.
Without his mentorâ€™s help, Skeeve must solve the problem of the Runaway King, protect himself from the ardor and the threat of the Killer Queen, and finally face the wrath of Don Bruce, the Mobâ€™s fairy godfatherâ€”who makes Skeeve an offer he canâ€™t refuse!

The Fairy Godfather ...

â€œWait a minute,â€ Shai-ster said, holding up his hands. â€œThis is so far beyond my negotiating parameters that even if I liked what I saw, I couldnâ€™t approve the deal. I need to bring one of the Big Boys in on this decision.â€
This was better than I had hoped. By the time he could bring one of the Mobâ€™s hierarchy to Possiltum, I could deal with some of my other problems.
â€œFine. Go and fetch him. Iâ€™ll hold the deal until your return.â€
The spokesman gave one of his tight-lipped smiles.
â€œNo need to wait,â€ he said. â€œMy immediate superior is on call specifically for emergencies such as this.â€
Before I could frame a reply, he opened the front of his belt buckle and began rubbing it, all the while mumbling under his breath.
There was a quick flash of light, and an old, hairy-jowled man appeared in the room. Looking round, he spied the two bodyguards sprawled on the floor and gripped the sides of his face with his open hands in an exaggerated expression of horror.
â€œMercy!â€ he wheezed in a voice so hoarse I could barely understand him. â€œShai-ster, you bad boy. If there was trouble, you should have called me sooner. Oh, those poor, poor boys.â€
The Mob spokesmanâ€™s face was once again blank and impassive as he addressed me.
â€œSkeeve, Lord Magician of Possiltum, let me introduce Don Bruce, the Mobâ€™s fairy godfather.â€
