Apoca Lips
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
No one’s safe when a pundemic spreads through the land of Xanth in this madcap adventure from the New York Times–bestselling author.
What’s a single prince to do when confronted with the baton of protagonism? Why, become the hero of his own story of course! And in Xanth that usually means embarking on a quest. For Prince Nolan Naga, there’s only one thing missing from his life: a wife. He needs a royal match by the time he assumes the throne. But to make sure he lands the right spouse, he must consult with the Good Magician.
After completing the three challenges necessary to see the Good Magician, Nolan learns that the ideal bride for him does exist. She is Apoca of the Lips Tribe. From the Queendom of Thanx—a matriarchy that is the opposite of Xanth—she is a formidable woman, one whose very kiss can seduce a man into love slavery. But before a happily ever after, they’ll have to team up to put an end to a curse that’s causing every baby in Xanth to be born with the same magical talent, all while navigating through a realm plagued by endless puns. It could be the end of the world as we know it . . .

February 17, 2023
In Anthony's newest Xanth novel, the Dwarf Demon Talents is not doing his job of assigning a magical ability to each newborn. Instead, all babies are being born with the same talent, which is a terrible fate for the denizens of Xanth. To remedy this curse, Prince Nolan Naga, son of Mela Merwoman of The Color of Her Panties (1992) fame, is accosted by a baton of Protagonism, making him the protagonist of the story and fated for a great adventure. His quest is two-fold: he needs to mitigate the ""curse of talents"" while courting Queen Apoca of the Lips tribe, who is his ideal woman according to the Good Magician. As they must venture where puns run amok, the couple assembles a team--a flirtatious ghost, a girl who sees the right path, a pun-cursed handyman, and two telepathic insects--to help deal with the perilous Pundemic Region. Series fans will enjoy the plethora of groan-worthy puns along with the guest appearances of a variety of historical characters from the first three Xanth novels.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
