The curse may be gone, but chaos doesn't stay retired for long. When forged parchments, sneezing contracts, and exploding goats start turning village life upside down, Corbin and his companions find themselves pulled back into trouble. Bella sharpens her spells, Aldous records every disaster with knightly precision, Splinters insists on correcting margins, and Corbin—well, Corbin mostly tries not to die. But this time, their biggest challenge isn't fire or blade—it's paperwork. Because George, the self-proclaimed Master of the New Guild, has discovered a new way to bind the village: contracts so neat and so convincing that even Smoulderscale the dragon auditor struggles to keep up. As queues grow longer, clauses get deadlier, and villagers begin chanting slogans, the Advisory Council (Temporary) must find a way to break George's system before it breaks them. And when "Corrective Clauses" start patching every loophole, they realize the only way to end it is to make George say the one name he refuses to admit. Packed with sharp wit, magical mishaps, and the most dangerous courtroom chickens you'll ever meet, The Master of the New Guild delivers a hilarious new chapter in the Corbin & Company saga. Lesson Learned: Never let George do the paperwork.
