What could Saul say about a friend who disappeared into a parallel world - and not a word to him? Well, let’s say Saul didn’t know that Mat Mantrell had fled to a parallel world, but he still bravely set out on a search. A dangerous road led him straight from the kitchen window to a magical kingdom, where the poetic word has magical power, where the gloomy warlock Xuete rules, who has a genuine taste for everything vile and evil, and the assistants in the fight against this terrible person are the perfect company: the yellow squire, a dull troll, a sensitive maiden in love and - the crown of it all! - guardian angel.
