Death/Wish: Book 1 of the Refried Trilogy Publisher's Summary

A dying man. An immortal wizard. One final wish that could unravel an entire kingdom.Hubert Veldin has contracted Goblin Pox—a bizarre, incurable curse passed from one member of his family to the next. He knows he doesn’t have long to live, but before the disease reaches its grisly final stage, he invokes his legal right to a death wish.He wants to meet his family.Unfortunately for Sir Jacques Dawkins, the immortal wizard assigned to grant Hubert’s request, locating the young man’s scattered relatives is only the beginning. Each reunion reveals another piece of a centuries-old mystery involving missing magical relics, buried betrayals, and the sinister voice known as the Lurker.As Hubert’s condition worsens, Sir Jacques’s simple assignment becomes a full-fledged quest through a clockwork kingdom filled with malfunctioning inventions, absurd bureaucracies, outlaw heroes, theatrical villains, and gold-armored guards who insist on singing their threats.Meanwhile, a power-hungry official is making his move for the throne—and the secret behind Hubert’s curse may be connected to dangers far greater than either of them imagined.To save Hubert, Sir Jacques must confront the cost of his own immortality, reunite a family divided by guilt and resentment, and face a past he has spent centuries trying to escape.Death/Wish is a humorous fantasy adventure filled with magical mysteries, eccentric characters, heartfelt family drama, clockwork chaos, and a quest in which death may be only the beginning.
