Book I of Fool's Gold. The Allfair - a place for old enemies to put aside their differences for a time and come together for trade and revelry. Katla Aransen and her family have come to trade their goods; the Vingo clan have travelled from Istria to purchase a bride for their appalling eldest son; Tycho Issian to sell his daughter to the highest bidder; and King Ravn Asharson, Stallion of the North, comes seeking a wife, while others seek his downfall. But there is disquiet in the air. For centuries Elda has been bereft of magic but now a mysterious force is abroad, and at its centre a triumvirate of strangers to the Allfair; a mysterious, coldly dispassionate man, his oddly intelligent cat and a woman of such beauty that all who see her fall under her thrall.

Book II of Landover. A year has passed since Ben Holiday bought the Magic Kingdom and claimed his throne despite the machinations of the wizard Meeks. Three loyal friends have come to his aid: the incompetent Court Wizard Questor Thews; the Court Scribe, Abernathy (a talking dog) and the lovely Willow who is sometimes a tree. Ben now dreams of a former partner, Miles, in grave trouble. Questor also dreams - of finding the lost books of magic; and Willow meets, in her sleep, a black unicorn with a gold bridle. But Ben, on his return to Earth, finds Miles in the best of spirits. He returns to Landover - and no-one seems to know him. Questor's magic books are damaged, and Willow, who has gone to see her mother about the unicorn, has not yet come back. Meeks is gloating - he sent the dreams and now he has the medallion that gives the King the power to summon the Paladin, that mysterious knight-protect. Not only that, Meeks has assumed Ben's appearance and Ben looks like a vagrant. Ben is outcast, recognised only by his enemies and unable to seek help from the Paladin. The only thing that might help is the prism cat - whatever that is! Cover art by Steve Stone. -
