Publisher Description

Book One in the Magic Kingdom of Landover Series

Landover was a genuine magic kingdom, with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement promised. But after he purchased it, Ben Holiday learned that there were a few details the ad had failed to mention.

The kingdom was in ruin. The Barons refused to recognize the king, and the peasants were without hope. A dragon was laying waste the countryside, while an evil witch plotted to destroy everything.

Ben's only followers were the incompetent Court Magician; Abernathy, the talking dog who served as Court Scribe; and the lovely Willow - but she had a habit of putting down roots in the moonlight and turning into a tree. The Paladin, legendary champion of the Kings of Landover, seemed to be only a myth and an empty suit of armor.

To put a final touch on the whole affair, Ben soon learned that the Iron Mark, terrible lord of the demons, had challenged all prospective Kings of Landover to a duel to the death - a duel which no human could hope to win.

The task of proving his right to be King seemed hopeless. But Ben Holiday was stubborn.

"I truly love sci fi and while Terry Brooks has been around for a while, this was my first time to read any of his books. I loved it! It is easy to read, is a truly imaginative story and I think we all secretly wish we could get off the treadmill of modern life. A good fantasy sci fi book like this one can help us get away at least for a few hours (or days)!"

    " 3 1/2 stars. I read this book because Terry Brooks is my husbands favorite author, and although this is not my normal genre I did enjoy it. It was a slower read than I thought it would be, but I think it was because there was so much to set up in the series. I really liked the characters and because of them I am going to continue reading the series. "

    " Loved this book, and wish I had read it when I was much younger. I thought the concept of a fantasy kingdom accessible by a hiking path in the mountains of Virginia was a very original concept, and the characters and settings in this book made it an enjoyable read. Looking forward to the future volumes in this series. "

    " My husband is a huge Terry Brooks fan and recommended this book to me. I listened to the audio book version and probably enjoyed it more because of it. The concept of the story is pretty far-fetched but the characters are interesting and the dialogue is full of great one liner quips. "
