Book Eight. Merlin finds himself in a marvelous bar drinking with Luke, the Cheshire Cat, and the Mad Hatter. He can’t help but feel that perhaps this isn’t... normal. When the Jabberwock appears, Merlin’s head clears just enough to realize that he’s caught in Luke’s LSD-inspired hallucination. And when a Fire Angel, one of the most powerful, magical killing beasts in existence, arrives to kill him, he realizes that he has to do something quick or both he and Luke are finished.
