Landover - kouzelný ostrov plný dobrodružství zachráněný z mlh času, domov rytířů a poddaných, draků a panen, kouzelníků a čarodějů - a právě toto místo získal Ben Holiday za jeden milion dolarů od čaroděje Meekse na docela obyčejný inzerát v katalogu. Netušil, že si tím podepisuje rozsudek smrti. Právo na trůn musel vybojovat až ve vražedném souboji a v mnoha nebezpečích o nichž se inzerát již nezmiňoval. Nakonec se mu podaří uzavřít Meeksovi cestu zpátky ze Země do království. Po nějaké době však začínají Bena sužovat zlé sny. Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že jeho přítel a společník v advokátní kanceláři je v nebezpečí. Rozhodne se vrátit na Zemi. Netuší, že na něho Meeks nastražil past. Jako drobný hmyz se čaroděj vrací spolu s Benem do Kouzelného království. Podvodem získává magický medailon a Bena začaruje. Sám se proměňuje v ladoverského krále, který se mezitím, nepoznán přáteli, stává psancem. Avšak... ještě je tady mluvící kočka, ať už je čímkoli... Kam se také ztratila víla - a kde může najít tajemného černého jednorožce?... celý text

With peace reigning in the Magic Kingdom at last, Ben Holiday is finally free to lie back and enjoy the finer things in life - like watching his daughter grow, which she does by leaps and bounds. Born a seedling and nourished by soil from Landover, Earth and the fairy mists, Mistaya is a unique child, fully as dazzling as her mother, the sylph, Willow - but fiery and impatient with those who can't keep up with her lightning-fast development. But Ben's idyll is not to last. The dark and pitiless Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mists, arrives at the gates of Sterling Silver. His armies are ready to invade if Ben will not accept his challenge: to face and defeat seven different champions of Rydall's choice. And accept he must, for Mistaya has been snatched from her guardians by foul magic and only Rydall holds the key to her fate. . .

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?
