About this ebook
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?

When I started reading this book I hadn't realized I was listening to an Enya album on disc. At first there was frustration because the songs distracted me from comprehension however when I focused on comprehending what I was reading they came together to create a super reality, I listened to Enya albums through the hole series and recommend it. I also suggest using wax melts to also engage sense of smell which will deepen the reality even more.

I grew up on these books and they still hold me with rapt attention, that being said, I do notice they are a little juvenile. Brooks' style was great when I was an early teen, but now 20-ish years later, it leaves a little to be desired. Still, I'll be buying the next volume soon.

One of my favorite stories. The last installment "princess" missed the mark slightly. But, if there ever was a story that needed to be put on the silver screen its Magic Kingdom for sale. There is one more novel coming out to finalize the fantasy. I truly can't wait.
