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. -

But Ben's idyll was not to last. The dark and pitiless Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mists, was at the gates of Sterling Silver. His armies ready to invade if Ben would not accept his challenge: to face and defeat seven different champions of Rydall's choice. And accept he must, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic and only Rydall had the key to her fate ...Cover art by Steve Stone. -

A group of elegant dogs in top hats, tails and bustled skirts become instant celebrities when they descend on New York in 2008. They are refugees from a Canadian town that has been isolated for over a hundred years - they are monster dogs who retain the 19th century Prussian culture of their human creator. They talk, walk upright, have excellent manners and seem to lead charmed lives, but as Cleo Pira, a young woman who has befriended them discovers, they are threatened with extinction. Cover art by Kirsten Bakis.
