Book Description
A quest for the source of power threatened to doom the land of Xanth As a ruler of a country steeped in enchantment, King Trent was naturally curious about the source of its magic. It made sense to order Bink, the only one of his subjects immune to supernatural harm, to undertake a quest to discover the wellspring of Xanth’s uniqueness. From the beginning, Bink and his companions, Chester the centaur and Crombie, the soldier transformed into a griffin, were harried by an unseen enemy determined to thwart them. Even the power of Good Magician Humfrey, together with Bink’s protective talent, scarcely saved their lives. Then when Humfrey and Crombie turned against him, all seemed lost. But Bink's ingenuity and luck prevailed, and he reached his goal. The King’s orders had been carried out . . . But the King had not expected Bink’s next act—to destroy utterly the magic of Xanth!

A Spell for Chameleon (The Parallel Edition... Simplified)
Author: Piers Anthony
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 0345536444
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
Piers Anthony’s bestselling Xanth series is one of the cornerstones of fantasy, a lively and whimsical interpretation of a genre often criticized for taking itself too seriously. Anthony’s first Xanth novel, A Spell for Chameleon, was initially edited to target a more traditional audience. Now, in an eBook exclusive, A Spell for Chameleon has been reworked line by line—its language matching the simpler, playful way with words that made Piers Anthony an enduring fan favorite. Xanth is an enchanted land where magic rules, a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks where every citizen has a unique spell to call their own. For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth is no fairy tale. He alone has no magic. And unless he gets some—and fast!—he will be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey is convinced that Bink does indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insist that Bink has magic as powerful as any possessed by the King, the Good Magician Humfrey, or even the Evil Magician Trent. Be that as it may, no one can fathom the nature of Bink’s very special magic. This is even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he still faces exile!

Book Description
Once upon a past. . . . Millie had been a ghost for 800 years. But now, restored by the magic of Xanth, she was again a maddeningly desirable woman. She could have had any man she wanted . . . except the one she did want, Jonathan the zombie. To grant Millie her desire, and to prove his right to rule Xanth in the future, young Magician Dor embarked on a quest for the elixir which would restore Jonathan to full life. But the potion could be found only in the past . . . so, through a magic tapestry, to the past he went, taking over the body of a barbarian warrior. The first person he encountered there was Jumper, a giant spider—a nightmare monster, but a staunch friend and much-needed ally in peril-haunted, ancient Xanth. Then Dor met Millie—800 years younger, but just as lovely. And he realized that, in his new body, he was no longer twelve years old . . .

Pages : 248
Book Description
A talking sword, an Academy for Mages, and terrifying demons everywhere? This term is going to be intense. I grew up scavenging for discarded mage tech my uncle could sell, while trying to avoid the monsters in the Scraps. Not the best upbringing, but at least I had my little brother Briar and my best friend Sterling. At night we'd lift our eyes to the magnificent floating city of mages, watch the sparkling lights and dream of magic and wonder. Then one day the unthinkable happens: my uncle sells me to a nobleman with a death wish, who wants me to infiltrate the prestigious academy of magic pretending to be a mage, and more alarmingly, a lady. The first would be difficult enough, without any real magic, the second seems even more impossible. I've never worn a dress in my life. But nobody asked my opinion. I get in, thanks to a clever piece of mage-tech, but it's only a matter of time before someone uncovers that I'm a fraud and exposes the charade. My professor, Markus Du Lac, is already suspicious, and the impossibly handsome prince, sixth in line for the throne, seems strangely fascinated with me - more than enough to make me the sworn enemy of the girl who's courting him. Thrust into a world of magic, I must fool the Academy's faculty and students into proving I'm one of them. But not all is as it seems in the shining kingdom of mages. Secret dangers hide around every corner, which threaten to change my life forever. As I search the school's library for valuable treasure and forbidden archives, I'm shocked to discover I have more magical talent than I realized. Even if I succeed my mission and escape with my life, things will never be the same. The Source of Magic is a young adult fantasy adventure suitable for ages 13 and up. Fans who enjoyed Rachel Carter's Black Mage series and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy will love this sprawling magical academy setting full of monsters, mages, murder and romantic intrigue.

Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Piers Anthony's Man from Mundania, concludes the trilogy within his fan-favorite Xanth fantasy series, following Vale of the Vole and Heaven Cent. For a bored, young princess of Xanth, there's nothing more exciting than a Quest. Especially when all you do is sit around Castle Roogna. But when Ivy uses the Heaven Cent, it takes her not to the top of Mount Rushmost, where the winged monsters gather, not to the sea where the merfolk swim--but to Mundania, a world much like out own (that is, boring). It is here that she meets a young college student so dull that he doesn't even believe in magic, or princesses, or Xanth! Does he have a lot to learn.
