Night Mare
"BEWARE THE HORSEMAN!"
The Nextwave of barbarian warriors was invading Xanth from the north,
ravaging and destroying as they advanced. But Mare Imbrium had her own
problems. Ever since she had gained the half soul, the night mare had
begun to mishandle her job of delivering bad dreams. Now the Night
Stallion dismissed her, exiling her to the day world with a message for
King Trent: "Beware the Horseman!"
She had no idea of what that meant. But that was the way with prophetic
warnings – nobody could understand them until it was too late.
Then she met the Horseman. And she discovered that one who would ride a
night mare was a master of bit and spur, and not a man to surrender her.
For the night mare, it began to be all a horrible nightmare!
