Dragon on a Pedestal
LOST IN THE JUNGLES OF XANTH
There was trouble in Xanth again – all kinds of trouble in fact.
The Gap Dragon had escaped from the Gap and was ravaging across the
land. The forget-spell that had covered the Gap was breaking up into
small forget-whorls that wandered about, giving amnesia to touched.
Good Magician Humfrey might have had the Answer, but he had overdosed
on water from the Fountain of Youth and was only a helpless baby.
And Ivy, three-year-old daughter of King Dor and Queen Irene, was lost
in the jungles south of the Gap. While Irene sought her without much
hope, Ivy was wandering further into danger, her memories erased by a
passing forget-whorl. Her path was leading her directly to where the
Gap Dragon was seeking dinner.
