The dragon, Strabo, was laying waste to the countryside, while the evil witch, Nightshade, was plotting to destroy no less than everything. The barons refused to recognize a king and taxes hadn't been collected for years. Such as the fact that the kingdom was falling into ruin. But after he purchased it for a million dollars, Ben Holiday discovered that there were a few details the ad had failed to mention. Landover was a genuine magic kingdom, complete with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement had promised. Slight fading to crown and heel of spine.
Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean w/soft tone. The task of proving his right to be King seemed hopeless. To put the final touch on the whole affair, Ben learned that the Iron Mark, ugly and terrible lord of the demons, had challenged all prospective Kings of Landover to a duel to the death - a duel which no human could hope to win.

The Paladin, legendary champion of the Kings of Landover, seemed to be only a myth and an empty suit of armor. Ben's only followers were the incompetent Court Magician, Questar Thews, and Abernathy, the talking dog who served as Court Scribe. The dragon Strabo was laying waste the countryside and the evil witch Nightshade was plotting to destroy everything. Landover was a genuine, out-of-this-world magic kingdom, complete with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement had promised.
