Aahz is taken away by his nephew
leaving Skeeve on his own as Court Magician of Possiltum, for
what Skeeve thinks is the rest of his life. Skeeve is soon approached
by his king, Rodrick, who states that he needs a break from the
rigors of ruling over the populace, and he wants Skeeve to use
his disguise spell and fill in for him for a day.
Skeeve reluctantly
disagrees and soon finds that he having quite a good time ruling.
But near the end of the day he learns that the king’s soon-to-be
wife is on her way over. Skeeve realizes that Rodrick has run
away and is not coming back. Then, to make things worse, the
Mob shows up demanding to know what happened to their army a
few years back, see Myth Conceptions.
Knowing that he needs some help, he approaches Massha, but she
states that the only way she will help him is she can become
HIS apprentice. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Skeeve
agrees.
Hit or Myth is the fourth
book of the Myth Adventures series by
Robert Asprin. It takes place about a year after Myth
Directions. Like all of the other books in this series, it
is a funny fantasy tale that revolves around Skeeve finally growing
up some and learning to survive as a magician without the help
of Aahz. Oh…don’t worry all you Aahz fans…he reappears.
