This was a fun one to read. Ben Holiday purchased a kingdom and the adventure begins. He meets a talking dog, a girl who turns into a tree and a host of others.

This is one of my favorites! I read and re-read this book until the cover fell off (not that that stopped me from reading it again!). I highly recommend this book. You will NOT be disappointed!

Not as good as his Shannara series but a decent book nonetheless.

Landover was a genuine magic kingdom, with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement promised. But after he purchased it, Ben Holiday learned that there were a few details the ad had failed to mention.
The kingdom was in ruin. The Barons refused to recognize the king, and the peasants were without hope. A dragon was laying waste the countryside, while an evil witch plotted to destroy everything.
Ben's only followers were the incompetent Court Magician; Abernathy, the talking dog who served as Court Scribe; and the lovely Willow - but she had a habit of putting down roots in the moonlight and turning into a tree. The Paladin, legendary champion of the Kings of Landover, seemed to be only a myth and an empty suit of armor.
To put a final touch on the whole affair, Ben soon learned that the Iron Mark, terrible lord of the demons, had challenged all prospective Kings of Landover to a duel to the death - a duel which no human could hope to win.
The task of proving his right to be King seemed hopeless. But Ben Holiday was stubborn. . .

This book had a very different story line which I liked. It seemed to take me a long time to finish because sometimes it would get slow. If you like fantasy you probably will really enjoy this book.
