Plot summary

Matt never thought he could return to his original world until the arrival of Saul and the two of them explored the possibilities of magicks. But what resulted from the visit was his discovering his parents were in dire straits and prompted him to bring them back with him to Merovence.

Merovence, however, was not as safe as he hoped, for the royal palace came under attack by djinns. The Moslems had launched a major invasion from Barbary into Ibile, and Merovence seemed to be the next target.

Saul must find a long-term solution to the problem, but this time, he has the benefit of his scholar parents helping him, they turning out to be powerful wizards themselves in this new realm. And it was fortunate, for their opponent commanded powerful djinns and magicks.

In a sinister twist, the problems faced in this realms seemed linked to the increased drug problems in Matt's original neighbourhood in his native homeworld. His opponent could travel between worlds too.
