Synopsis

An acorn falls far from the tree

Former Chicago lawyer Ben Holiday was very proud and quite happy. And why shouldn’t he be? The Magic Kingdom which he ruled as High Lord was finally at peace. He was free to lie back and watch as his new daughter grew.
And grow she did—by leaps and bournds, shooting through infancy in a matter of months. She took her first steps and learned to swim in the same week. An amalgam of magic and heredity, Mistaya was born a seedling, nourished by soils from Landover, Earth, and the fairy mists, come into being in the dank, misty deadness of the Deep Fell. She was as lovely as her mother, the sylph Willow, with dazzling green eyes that cut to the soul. Ben wished he could enjoy his daughter's childhood and his happy kingdom forever.

Alas, those idyllic days were not to last. For Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mist, rode up to the gates of Sterling Silver and shattered peace of Landover. His armies were poised on the border, ready to invade unless Ben accepted a challenge: Rydall would send seven champions to face Ben, each in a different form. If Ben triumphed over all seven, Rydall would then abandon his claims to the kingdom.

Some counseled the High Lord to refuse Rydall's challenge, but Holiday could not, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic. And Rydall held the key to her fate. . . .

Goodreads review by hotsake on April 17, 2023

3.5/5 This story has three POVs, one of the POVs was great 4.5/5, the second one was a solid 4/5 but the third featuring a new character I knew nothing about, and didn't really care for took too much of the page count and was a low 2.5/5.......more

Goodreads review by Naomi on January 22, 2016

As much as I enjoy Terry Brooks and his easy to follow writing style, this book was a little underwhelming. It was a little more predictable than the average Brooks romp and the ending seemed quite rushed. Brooks has a wonderful imagination and I love the concept of Landover but this wasn't as good......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey on February 03, 2017

There were some things that I really liked about this book, but there were also some things that just kinda baffled me. On the plus side, I liked how this book really focused on the relationships between the different characters, focusing on things like the guilt Questor feels about transforming Abe......more
