When the wizard Meeks assumes the appearance of Ben Holiday, the real Ben becomes an outcast
It all began when the half-able wizard Questor Thews announced that finally he could restore the Court Scribe Abernathy to human form. All went well until the wizard breahed the magic dust of his spell and suddenly sneezed. Then, where Abernathy had stood, there was only a bottle containing a particularly evil imp, who soon escapes.
A Magic Kingdom of Landover Novel

The creature soon imprisons Ben, the dragon Strabo, and the witch Nightshade in a device known as the Tangle Box. They must find a way out while Ben's allies find a way to handle the new threat from the Gorse
Ben può finalmente regnare in pace su Landover. La sua sposa, Willow, regina degli Elfi, gli ha dato una figlia, Mistaya, una bambina dolcissima. Ma ecco incombere una nuova, terribile minaccia. Rydall, re delle terre che si estendono al di là delle nebbie magiche che avvolgono Landover, rapisce la bimba e lancia la sua sfida: un combattimento con sette invincibili campioni. La posta in gioco è altissima: Mistaya, sua figlia, e Landover, il suo regno. Ben accetta, non sapendo che i suoi avversari non sono altro che mostri creati dalla mente di chi gli è molto vicino... L'ultima avvincente puntata che chiude il fantastico ciclo di avventure ambientato nel magico regno di Landover
Headstrong fifteen-year-old Mistaya is kicked out of her prestigious boarding school and assigned by her father, Ben, to reopen the kingdom's abandoned library, a task she avoids before discovering a magical plot against Landover
Contains the final two novels in Terry Brooks' original Magic Kingdom of Landover series, including "The Tangle Box," in which conjurer Horris Kew accidently frees an evil sorcerer who sets out to enslave the fairy folk of Landover; and "Witches' Brew," in which Ben, the High Lord of Landover, joins with his wife and friends to search for his daughter, Mistaya, who has been kidnapped by the witch, Nightshade
Capture the fantasy, thrills, and far-flung adventure of the first three novels in Terry Brooks’s enchanting Magic Kingdom of Landover series—now for the first time in one gripping volume. Chicago lawyer Ben Holiday can’t fathom what lies ahead when he purchases Landover—a magical kingdom of chivalry and sorcery—from Meeks, the mysterious seller who placed the ad. Weary and jaded, Ben clings to the ad’s promise: “Escape into your dreams.” But Landover is not the enchanted idyll he expected. The kingdom is in ruin. The barons refuse to recognize Ben as King, a dragon is decimating the countryside, and a demon lord has challenged any prospective ruler to a fatal duel. To make matters worse, the Paladin, renowned champion of the Kings of Landover, seems to be merely a legend. Ben’s only allies are a bumbling court magician, a talking dog turned court scribe, and the beautiful Willow, who is part girl, part tree. With his friends in tow, Ben sets out to claim the throne. But when Meeks decides he wants Landover back, Ben will face supernatural foes of every stripe to prove himself worthy of the kingship. The question is: Can he survive?
