Dark Lord of Derkholm

345 pp. | Greenwillow | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-688-16004-2 $$16.00
(2) YA A rather unorthodox wizard, Derk's primary interest is in breeding unusual animals: griffins, flying pigs, winged horses. When the greatest wizards in the land appoint him Dark Lord, Derk is extremely unwilling. But Dark Lord he must be, and he goes about his business with an immense roster of fascinating creatures. Several surprises in the convoluted plot lead to the triumphant ending of the author's best fantasy in some time.
