  <default_description>Ordered by King Trent to determine the source of Xanth's magic, Bink and his companions were harried by an unseen enemy determined to thwart them. When even their protector turned against them, Blink still managed to reach his goal and carry out the King's orders...but the king did not expect Blink's next act--to destroy utterly the magic of Xanth!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It wasn't amazing exactly, i think the ending dragged on a bit and came to a sort of abrupt stop at the end. But there's always the next book. <br/><br/>This was a nice sequel too. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Like its predecessor, A Spell for Chameleon, this book is a very pleasant diversion from the mediocrity of daily life.
