About this eBook

***50 MILLION TERRY BROOKS COPIES SOLD AROUND THE WORLD***

'Terry's place is at the head of the fantasy world' Philip Pullman

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

Such as the fact that the kingdom is falling into ruin. The barons refuse to recognize a king and taxes haven't been collected for years. The dragon, Strabo, is laying waste to the countryside, while the evil witch, Nightshade, is plotting to destroy no less than everything. And if that weren't enough for a prospective king to deal with, Ben soon learns that the Iron Mark, terrible lord of the demons, has challenged all pretenders to the throne of Landover to a duel to the death - a duel no mere mortal can hope to win.

But Ben Holiday has one human trait that even magic can't overcome. Ben Holiday is stubborn.

Ratings and reviews

Just a purely fantastic book, one i read as a kid and was filled with a sense of wonder, now 20 years later as an adult I'm reading it to my kids and reliving that sense of wonder again.

A great book for all ages it is little predictable in places, but I'm sure that you will still find the world of landover a great place to loose your self in

I read this book when I was a lot younger, and I can say it is as good now as it was then.
