Publisher's summary

It was a simple rhyme, a honeymoon folk blessing from the Riverlands, Minalan's home.

Seven bottles of mead to share.
For seven nights or more.
Each cup a toast, each sip a wish.
To bind their lives forevermore:
A bottle first for happiness, a bottle then for health.
A bottle for togetherness, a bottle next for wealth.
A bottle sipped for harmony, the equilibrium of desire.
A bottle savored for purest lust, which brings the marriage fire!

A bottle last for love to endure as long as life shall last,
saved for they who toast their love when five full years have passed!

But those seven bottles of mead were more than just a folk blessing. As Lord Minalan the Spellmonger began his honeymoon on a decadent river barge with his very pregnant bride, he had no idea that the occasion would have anything more complicated than eating, drinking, and making love on the agenda. But a frantic message from one of the Tree Folk indicating he and Alya may be in danger compels him to skip the lazy repose and travel to a far away ruin to speak with a possibly crazy Alka Alon mage - Lilastien, the Sorceress of Sartha Wood. After river pirates, trolls, and the sheer difficulty of adjusting to married life, the answers to the questions he has for her may be more than he, his wife, and his marriage can handle.

Come sail down the languid Burine river with the Spellmonger, and see how seven bottles of mead and a pregnant bride can turn a holiday jaunt into a potential interspecies disaster!

Note: This novella fits chronologically just before the events of Magelord, book three.

Another great addition

So romantic, a great piece of the story that was needed. Adds to the great picture and also makes you love Min even more.

Spell monger honeymoon

It was funny it was going. It was a likable.. if you had quite a bit of action, it’s nice like where to go like on a honeymoon on the river on a boat that’s good.

must read

this leaves a wonderful little nugget of information that could turn into a something that i just cant wait to see come into play later in the series.

great slice if life

enjoyed thisbslice of life very much. so nice to "see" Alya again, and hear about their mysterious honeymoon.

A Nice Spellmonger Candy

If you are looking for more of John Lee's narration and Terry Mancour's writing, look no further. It is a nice little story with some Easter eggs in the rest of the writing but let me inform you that it isn't directly related to nor directly spoken of (except for small references of no consequence) again in the books. It is just a nice little author and narrator gift so that you can get more of that good Spellmonger dope lol! There is no consequence to not reading this in the story line and it doesn't illuminate anything particularly important about any of the characters or lore. So just sit back and enjoy more good ole Spellmongering.

As fabulous as always!

The Spellmonger stories never fail to entertain! They are funny and smart and creative and well-written and superbly performed. This one is no exception!

Better the second time.

After a second listen long after listening to every book in the spellmonger series it was even better the second time around. Story,performance and overall 5 stars.

Worth 2 dollars.

Don’t use a credit on this. But it’s worth it if you’re invested in this series. It’s excellent and very cleverly walled off from the main books. You’ll likely never get a single hint about what happens in this book if you only read the main ones. This is the first #.5 book that I definitely recommend.

Love this series!

Good story line! follows and fits right along not missing a beat!
cant wait to read the next book!

Love this collection

Very interesting and well thought out. Great Narrator. Easy to follow and worth the read. Just wish this book was longer.
