Capture the fantasy, thrills, and far-flung adventure of the first
three novels in Terry Brooks's enchanting Magic Kingdom of Landover
series--now for the first time in one gripping volume.
Chicago lawyer Ben Holiday can't fathom what lies ahead when he
purchases Landover--a magical kingdom of chivalry and sorcery--from
Meeks, the mysterious seller who placed the ad. Weary and jaded, Ben
clings to the ad's promise: "Escape into your dreams." But Landover is
not the enchanted idyll he expected.
The kingdom is in ruin. The barons refuse to recognize Ben as King, a
dragon is decimating the countryside, and a demon lord has challenged
any prospective ruler to a fatal duel. To make matters worse, the
Paladin, renowned champion of the Kings of Landover, seems to be merely
a legend.
Ben's only allies are a bumbling court magician, a talking dog turned
court scribe, and the beautiful Willow, who is part girl, part tree.
With his friends in tow, Ben sets out to claim the throne. But when
Meeks decides he wants Landover back, Ben will face supernatural foes of
every stripe to prove himself worthy of the kingship. The question is:
Can he survive?
