Saul Bremener didn't have many friends, so when Matthew "Matt" Mantrell seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth one day, Saul took it upon himself to track down his missing chum. But nobody, not Matt's family, not the other friends not the police, could help. Breaking into Matt's apartment, he found the rune-filled scrap of parchment which had transported Matt into the magical alternate world ... |

Like Matt, Saul found himself able to wield magic by reciting verses. And not too soon, for he quickly made himself a formidable foe: yet another a powerful monarch steeped in wickedness and evil - Queen Suettay. |
|||
Intrigued by Saul's command of magic, Suettay was determined make him hers, or destroy him. |
|||
A menagerie of unlikely allies gave Saul the critical help needed : Gruesome the [[troll]], young [[squire]] Gilbert, a [[guardian angel]], a hand of the faerie folk, and the beautiful but wraithlike Angelique. But Saul would need more than that, he would to find a way to enlist the mysterious Spider King could Saul to counter the machinations of the evil sorceress. |

Redirect to:
- From an ambiguous term: This is a redirect from an ambiguous page name to a page or list that disambiguates it. These redirects are pointed to by links that should always be disambiguated. Therefore, this template should never appear on a page that has "(disambiguation)" in its title – in that case use {{R to disambiguation page}} instead.
- From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.
