About The Magic Kingdom of Landover Series
Landover is a light-hearted fantasy full of adventure, color, wonderment, and amazing characters. Ben Holiday, a lawyer living in Chicago, purchases a magic kingdom for one million dollars to escape the loss of his wife and child. Although his disbelief is as strong as his desire to need to believe, the realm is truly real and he becomes High Lord of Landover. A menagerie of interesting characters surround the High Lord; a good-intentioned, inept court wizard, a soft-coated Wheaton dog who is court scribe, two sharp-toothed kobolds, and a beautiful woman who spends some moonlit nights as a willow tree. With their aid, Ben tries to govern a land where prism cats abound, a witch continuously plots revenge, and a grumpy dragon flies the skies in search of prey.

A Kingdom For Sale
Landover was a genuine, out-of-this-world 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.
The kingdom was falling into ruin. Taxes hadn't been collected in years. The Barons refused to recognize a king and the peasants were without hope. The dragon Strabo was laying waste the countryside and the evil witch Nightshade was plotting to destroy everything. Generally, things were a total mess.
Ben's only followers were the incompetent Court Magician, Questar Thews, and Abernathy, the talking dog who served as Court Scribe. For servants, all he had were a pair of kobolds. The Paladin, legendary champion of the Kings of Landover, seemed to be only a myth and an empty suit of armor.
Of course, there was the lovely and devoted Willow--but she had a habit of putting down roots in the moonlight and turning into a tree.
To put the final touch on the whole affair, Ben soon learned that the Iron Mark, ugly and 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.
Here in his first non-Shannara novel, Terry Brooks has written a gripping story of mystery, magic, and adventure--sure to delight fantasy readers everywhere.
The Black Unicorn (11.35 Hours)
The Outcast King
A year had passed since Ben Holiday bought the Magic Kingdom from the wizard Meeks, to find his road to the crown filled with hazards and pitfalls set by Meeks. He had won, aided by three loyal friends: Questor Thews, an ill-trained Court Wizard; the Court Scribe Abernathy, a talking dog; and the lovely Willow, who sometimes had to become a tree.
Now Ben sat at breakfast, telling of a troubling dream about his former partner Miles Bennett in grave trouble. Questor had also had a dream - of finding the lost books of magic. And Willow had dreamed of a black unicorn and a golden bridle to control it. But when Ben set out to see Miles, he found the man doing well, and he hastened back to Landover.
Questor returned with the books of magic; but one was badly burned and the other held only drawings of unicorns. Willow, who had gone to see her mother about the unicorn, had not come back.
That night, Ben woke to see Meeks gloating over him. Meeks claimed he sent all the dreams, that he now had the medallion that gave the King power to summon the mysterious knight-protector, the Paladin, and that had cast a spell to assume Ben's appearance. Ben now looked like a dirty vagrant, he sneered.
Ben found himself outcast, no longer recognized by any friend. But somehow, all his greatest enemies seemed to know him. And without the medallion, he couldn't seek the help of the Paladin against them. There was only the prism cat - whatever that might be!
Wizard at Large (10.5 Hours)
A Spell For Abernathy
When things were going well in the Magic Kingdom of Landover, it usually meant trouble ahead - big trouble.
This time it all began when the half-able wizard Questor Thews announced that finally had had a sure spell to restore the Court Scribe Abernathy to fully human form. It was his spell years before that had turned Abernathy into a Wheaten Terrier - though with hands and able to talk.
Abernathy was skeptical, but finally consented, and Questor began. 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. That must mean that Abernathy was now an unwilling part of that collection.
High Lord Ben Holiday set forth for Earth, of course, taking his green but lovely bride 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. His only idea seemed impossible but...
Again Terry Brooks brings us a tale of magic and high adventure in (and beyond) the magic lands of Landover, told only as he could do it!
The Tangle Box (11.2 Hours)
Oh, What A Tangled Web...
Everything should have been quiet and pleasant for ex-lawyer now sovereign of the Magic Kingdom of Landover, Ben Holiday. But it wasn't. Horris Kew, conjurer, more recently confidence-man trickster, had returned to the Magic Kingdom from Ben's own world, where he and his sidekick in crime, the talking bird Biggar, had gotten in just a spot of trouble with the former "faithful" of their scam cult.
"Throw him into the deepest prison and throw away the key!" insisted Questor Threws, wizard and advisor to Ben. "Send him away immediately," echoed Abernathy, the court scribe who, by an unfortunate magical mishap, bore an uncanny resemblance to a Soft-coated Wheatin Terrier. "Horris was the one who found a way to organize cats into packs to hunt mice, but it backfired and they ended up hunting dogs."
Nevertheless, a fair and just ruler, Ben decided to consider the repatriation of Horris and Biggar to Landover. Alas, Horris had not returned of his own volition - he had been sent by the Gorse, a sorcerer of great evil, whom Horris had unwittingly freed. Now the Gorse planned to use Horris and Biggar to help enslave the fairy folk who had once dared condemn it.
But first it had to rid Landover of all who could stand in its way. Soon Ben found himself imprisoned within the gloom of the Tangle Box, lost in its mists, its labyrinthine ways, along with a despairing lady, who might once have been the Witch Nightshade, and an unhappy gargoyle, that might once have been the dragon Strabo.
The path to the throne was clear for the Gorse. And the only one who could free Ben from the Tangle Box was the lady Willow. But she had disappeared, was gone from Landover on a mysterious mission of her own...
Witches’ Brew (11.3 Hours)
An Acorn Falls Far From The Tree
Former Chicago lawyer Ben Holiday was very proud and quite happy. And why shouldn't he be? The Magic Kingdom that he ruled as High Lord was finally at peace. He was free to lie back and watch as his new daughter grew.
And grow she did - by leaps and bounds, shooting through infancy in a matter of months. She took her first steps and learned to swim in the same week. An amalgam of magic and heredity, Mistaya was born a seedling, nourished by soils from Landover, Earth, and the fairy mists, come into being in the dank, misty deadness of the Deep Fell. She was as lovely as her mother, the sylph Willow, with dazzling green eyes that cut to the soul. Ben wished he could enjoy his daughter's childhood and his happy kingdom forever.
Alas, those idyllic days were not to last. For Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mists, rode up to the gates of Sterling Silver and shattered the peace of Landover. His armies were poised on the border, ready to invade unless Ben accepted a challenge: Rydall would send seven champions to face Ben, each in a different form. If Ben triumphed over all seven, Rydall would then abandon his claims to the kingdom.
Some counseled the High Lord to refuse Rydall's challenge, but Holiday could not, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic. And Rydall held the key to her fate...
