- Synopsis
- Half-harpy, half-goblin, Gloria is the star of Anthony's latest romp through Xanth. Being the only one of her crossbred species and at an age when the opposite sex holds some attraction, Gloria appeals to Good Magician Humphry for help in finding a mate. Of course, nothing is straightforward or easy in Xanth. First Gloria must master three challenges just to see the magician; then she has to find Humphry's second son, who will start her on her quest. Accompanied by a rejuvenated Magician Trent and Cynthia, the flying centaur, Gloria treks through the underworld and across Xanth. Along the way, the trio outwits (and out-puns) dragons, goblins, mermaids, and the like and greets old friends, including Com Pewter and Marrow Bones. Gloria is successful, but the plot is once again incidental to the ruthless punning and outright fun. After all, in Xanth, as in life, it's the journey that's important, not the destination.
