After killing the evil wizard Rimmah, Bennelzor Transom thinks all his troubles are over. But the king and queen won't allow their daughter, Mol'Jessel, to marry a man they see as a stuttering provincial idiot. Ben doesn't help the situation when he confuses ballroom dancing with giving spin-a-rounds, and offers the most inappropriate bride price for the princess. If surviving the schemes of the king and queen weren't enough, Ben has bigger problems. The great goblin chieftain Ugg-lukk plans to conquer the kingdom, and Ben's home is in danger. The king and queen see the perfect opportunity to be rid of Ben forever, and the princess sees a chance for Ben to prove himself worthy. Ben finds himself in charge of the war with a pacifist wizard and a bard with delusions of grandeur as his only friends. Disaster piles upon disaster as they rush toward a battle for the kingdom that nobody is ready to face. This novel is the sequel to The Stuttering Bard of York.

Ben Transom is a simple farmer who sings off-key to his horse and wishes he were a bard. But when a goblin raid from the Shiddow Mountains destroys Ben's simple life, he is sent to petition the king for justice and is thrown into an adventure greater than he ever dreamed. Along the way, Ben meets the warrior-princess Jess and the pacifist wizard Ernie. Soon they learn that the evil wizard Rimmah has enslaved Jess's parents and seeks to conquer the entire kingdom of Tarn, and Ben finds himself caught up in events more dangerous than he ever imagined. Although Ben has a weak understanding of economics and public restrooms, it is his kind and honest nature that keeps the band together despite goblins, rogues, and creatures far more foul that Rimmah sends their way. He is just a simple farmer, but he soon discovers that both the princess and the wizard are depending on him to get them to the city of Galdoron and attempt a daring rescue of the king and queen.
