Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Magic Kingdom For Sale/Sold by Terry Brooks tells the story of Landover, a genuine magic kingdom, complete with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement had promised. However, after purchasing it for a million dollars, Ben Holiday discovers a few details that the ad failed to mention.

For instance, the kingdom is falling into ruin. The barons refuse to recognise a king, and taxes haven't been collected for years. The dragon, Strabo, is laying waste to the countryside, while the evil witch, Nightshade, is plotting to destroy no less than everything. If that weren't enough for a prospective king to handle, Ben soon learns that the Iron Mark, the terrible lord of the demons, has challenged all pretenders to the throne of Landover to a duel to the death—a duel no mere mortal can hope to win.

But Ben Holiday has one human trait that even magic can't overcome. Ben Holiday is stubborn.
