From the Publisher
Now in one thrilling volume-experience the magic, the intrigue, and
the exciting escapades of the final two novels in Terry Brooks's
spellbinding Magic Kingdom of Landover series
All appears well with Ben Holiday. He's finally secured for
himself the throne of Landover, and he and his wife, the exquisite
sylph Willow, are expecting their first child. But their peaceful
days are numbered.
The conjurer Horris Kews returns to Landover and inadvertently
releases an evil sorcerer from the Tangle Box, a magic chest used
by the fairy folk to imprison wayward spirits. Now free, the
sorcerer traps Ben inside the box's labyrinthine passages and plots
to wreak havoc in Landover using Horris as his pawn. But Ben's
greatest challenge comes when Rydall, a foreign king, issues Ben an
ultimatum: defeat seven deadly champions, or Rydall's armies invade
Landover. Complicating matters is the devastating fact that Ben and
Willow' s young daughter has been kidnapped-and her fate lies in
Rydall's dangerous hands.
Relying on his loyal friends, his steadfast wife, and no small
amount of endurance and enchantment, Ben risks his life to save
everything he loves. But this time, black magic may prove too
powerful for even the most devoted heart.
