When Princess Leticia is kidnapped for the sixth time in two years, private investigator William Tenys is hired by her parents to solve the mystery of how sorcerer Kalen has managed to commit the dastardly deed so many times. It should have been a straightforward enough investigation, but William discovers that all is not what it seems. With a sorcerer who may, or may not, be evil; a princess who may, or may not, be kidnapped and a prince who William just cannot bring himself to like in spite of his heroic qualities, William has to untangle the mystery before he loses his contract and then his life.
