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.

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.
