In that time he's beaten the army of Kervol Ket, destroyed the dreaded Staff of Skulls and most recently buried the immortal madmen of the Eternal Army. He's also managed to keep from being driven mad by his short, stupid and mildly crazy goblin followers, who respect him even if they won't listen to him. Now he faces a greater challenge, matrimony.Lydia Lajcak of the Fairy Godmothers has arrived in the Kingdom of the Goblins to find Will a wife. It turns out that being broke and in charge of a nation of idiots isn't the relationship killer Will thought it was.

Will is determined to win or go down fighting with his enthusiastic fire scepter, countless goblins, troll bodyguards, magic mirror and Lydia.Now if he only knew why Peck wants him dead.
