We can only dream of peace, gentlemen! There is no peace, damn it, for the ill-fated magical kingdom, where every poetic word has magical power! And where can he (peace) come from, if such a big diplomatic scandal has just broken out in Merovens!

War is inevitable... almost inevitable - unless poor Matt Mantrell, the magician and husband of Queen Alisande, QUICKLY conducts - either by magic or detective methods - his own murder investigation!..
