For a former Fool, the road to glory is lumpy, bumpy and full of pitfalls!
A year after the events of Fool’s Proof, Malfred Murd is no longer a Fool, royal or otherwise. He’s a newly minted nobleman— who can’t help plunging back into his own special brew of trouble. This time he’s taken on a task that’s outrageous even for him: becoming an undercover officer, out to bust the biggest crime boss in a vast and decadent city. Will it win him the attention of a certain maddeningly inaccessible Lady… or get him packed at the bottom of a barrel?
Follow Fred, Corvinalias, the other characters we met in “Fool’s Proof”— and a dazzling collection of new ones— on a journey through a world blending equal parts comedy, crime novel and adventure: heroic, horrific and hilarious.

Review
“The ending is surprisingly deep and leaves the reader wanting even more.” -Reedsy Discovery

A character-driven romp through a world of magic, fantastic creatures, and subterfuge….Sandor’s prose shines brightest when portraying story and character through dialogue, and crafting a beautiful, rich world while effortlessly switching between tense conversations rife with undertone and subtlety and more lighthearted, comical scenes that build character and entertain. – The BookLife Prize

Offers many surprises to delight literary fantasy readers looking for far more than an adventure tale….There’s simply not enough literary humor in the fantasy genre; but Eva Sandor fills this gap with another adventure story that should be read closely, so as not to miss any of the tongue-in-cheek humor (both overt and subtle) that graces its characters and lines.-Diane Donovan, Bookwatch
