Sagaria (91 page)
Authors: John Dahlgren
Flip looked up at the moon and the star-filled sky. The sky that Mishmash shared with a world that was far bigger and more complicated than even he could have dreamed.
Jinnia looked at the sign that hung over the door:
“We’ll have to change that,” she said.
“Why, my lovely?”
“I can hardly call myself Mrs. Adventurer Extraordinaire, now, can I? I’d get funny looks.”
Flip looked at her in horror. Had something happened during his absence to addle Jinnia’s brains? Had Luti Furfoot perhaps agreed to give his daughter’s hand in marriage with, in hindsight, rather suspicious haste?
Then Jinnia started giggling. “You should see the look on your face, Flip.”
He drew her to him and kissed her, yet again.
She’s going to make me so happy,
he thought,
for ever and a day. I may not get much of a chance to relax if she keeps on teasing me like this, but who says an Adventurer Extraordinaire wants to relax?

Blimey!
It’s something all pirates are taught when they’re young, but too many of them forget:
Never get on the wrong side of a librarian.
Especially if the librarian is a lemming!
“This is an in-depth adventure with extremely well-developed three dimensional characters. The writing is enthralling and a constant page-turner. John Dahlgren is a masterful storyteller.”

“[The Tides of Avarice] … will keep you riveted whatever your age. At times reminiscent of a furry version of Pirates of the Caribbean, the characters are endearing and the story has both depth and soul.”
