Publisher Description

It all began when the half-able wizard Questor Thews announced that finally he could restore the Court Scribe Abernathy to human form. It was his spell that had turned Abernathy into a Wheaten Terrier - though still able to talk.

All went well - until the wizard breathed the magic dust of his spell and suddenly sneezed. Then, where Abernathy had stood, there was only a bottle containing a particularly evil imp. It had been in the collection of Michel Ard Rhi, former King of Landover, now exiled to Earth. Abernathy must now be a part of that collection!

High Lord Ben Holiday set forth for Earth, taking his green but beautiful love, Willow, with him. Unfortunately, they were long in returning. And without the soil of Landover in which to root as a tree at times, Willow could not long survive.

That left it up to Questor Thews to save them. Grimly he set out to seek help, knowing himself to be incompetent. And to make things worse, the imp had escaped and sought the help of the evil witch Nightshade, now back from exile in Faerie.

Download and start listening now!

"In this third book, Ben and Willow return to the real world to get Abernathy back because Questor Thewes messed up and sent him back. They introduced a little girl names Elizabeth into this one and I am wondering if she will appear again. I really like this series."

    " A decent enough book, but again is it not enough to land one ongoing epic without sign of an ending series of books on us without starting another one. "

    " The landover series is good but as a series the books tend to drag on. I think this is what brooks writes when he needs a break from Shannara and just want to put a book out. "

    " My favorite of the Landover novels, partially because I really like the illustration on the book cover, and partially because it's just a really good book. I particularly enjoyed the dual storylines between the happenings in both worlds. "

    " I like to follow a series in order, to really get to know the characters, it can be like putting on comfy slippers. This was still a bit of fun with wizarding mishaps which as usual all ended up ok in the end. "

    " This is my second favorite Magic Kingdom book after Black Unicorn. The story of Quester Thews as he tries to right his own mistakes is charming, funny, and action-filled, and the quest to find Abernathy was equally fun. A great read. "

    " Needles n' pins, I tell ya' Needles n' pins! By now, I'm quite fond of Quester Thews (wizard in training) Abernathy (human turned into dog by accident) and, Bunion (Kobold- strange fairy) and love the way Terry has unfolded the character's development. "

    " Evil again stalks the Magic Kingdom of Landover and the king has been snatched away...of course I wonder why he keeps "trusting" Questor. To say his spells don't always turn out right is much like saying that bricks seldom fly on their own. Fun reads, and meant to be fun. "
