Cooking Mage & The Parchment Prankster Part Three

The foreseen four happened. Both "e;prince"e; and "e;mouse"e; survived the 19th. Now everyone knows Georg's more than a six-nine (rounded up) scarred cooking mage. He's a deadly warrior who knows how to use the magickal sword gifted to him by Saint Brunhilde of the Blade.The story about Lord Mouse using parchment magick in the ballroom battle is ridiculous, but he's the only one with the power to stop the conspirators from draining the magick out of the Gunpowder Treaty.The conspirators' to-do list for 24 July is therefore focused: (1) Kill Lord Mouse; (2) avoid the Prince; (3) avoid any and all saints, and (4) ensure no more dancing!One last visit to our world of magick and technology, in which there's a most unusual meeting in the Swiss embassy, a subterfuge goes tragically awry, the Senior Mage takes a train trip carrying a box of Vienna's finest chocolates, two meetings happen on a theme of "e;You want me to do what?"e;, objectivity gets defenestrated whilst planning to stop the murder of Mouse, but it has to be revived and brought back to the meeting; a pair of press releases causes much fuss and furor; a shadow-walker (check the O.M.I. pamphlet if you don't recall) earns his pay; the future gets fogged again; a series of meetings on a theme of "e;You can't be serious"e; happens; a vase is murdered; and three men risk everything to end the conspiracy once and for all.Plus a glorious HEA with parties all over the hundred-plus islands of the Earldom, celebrating the shared birthday of Georg and David. And a very private and personal HEA for our heroes, the day before, at the Earl-Consort's vacation home on the Jamaican Sea. You know. The one with the well-warded, no spying or scrying allowed, nude beach, where a Mouse might consort with a Consort.Special Preorder Price Goes Up A Dollar After Part Three Release Date:Part One: September 7, 2022 (99,071 words of story)Part Two: September 14, 2022 (114,098 words of story)Part Three: September 21, 2022 (149,091 words of story)
