The Refried Trilogy · Book 1
Death/Wish
One last wish. One immortal wizard. One family reunion that really should not require a quest.
A dying young man invokes an ancient law: Sir Jacques must grant his final wish. Hubert wants to meet his family. The request sends an unwilling immortal through magical bureaucracy, family secrets, and a Beandom that has had two centuries to become more complicated.
