    <![CDATA[Seorang pelawak kerajaan! Itu adalah cita-cita Sebastian Darke saat pergi ke Keladon. Kabarnya, Raja Septimus, penguasa Keladon, belum mempekerjakan seorang pelawak. Walaupun ia harus menempuh perjalanan yang panjang, Sebastian tidak gentar. Membuat orang tertawa adalah impiannya selama ini. Namun, perjalanan panjang Sebastian tidak sepenuhnya menyenangkan. Ia harus menghadapi sekawanan luper liar, bahkan terjebak pertempuran dengan para perampok! Menyeramkan sekaligus menegangkan!<br/> <br/>Untunglah, Sebastian bisa bertemu dengan Putri Kerin yang cantik, keponakan Raja Septimus. Jalan mulus menjadi pelawak kerajaan pun di depan matanya. Apakah benar semudah itu? Bagaimana dengan Raja Septimus? Benarkah dia tidak menyukai pelawak?<br/> <br/>Bersama Max sang buffalope dan Cornelius, Sebastian mengalami banyak petualangan lucu dan menegangkan! ]]>

    <![CDATA[The lord of Laughter, the Monarch of Mirth&#8211;if only the bumbling 17-year-old Sebastian Darke could be a successful jester like his father. The problem is Sebastian&#8217;s not funny. But after his father&#8217;s death, with no choice but to beg in the streets, the half-human, half-elf teen sets off with Max, his father&#8217;s slightly cynical Buffalope, to offer his services as a jester to King Septimus of Keladon. On the way they meet Captain Cornelius Drummel, small in stature, but the fiercest of fighters. The three rescue the fair princess Kerin, who&#8217;s being held captive by brigands, and happily escort her home. If only Sebastian knew the kidnapping was engineered by the evil King Septimus!<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

On the way they meet Captain Cornelius Drummel, small in stature, but the fiercest of fighters. The three rescue the fair princess Kerin, who&#8217;s being held captive by brigands, and happily escort her home.
