A mapping expedition across Xanth

Nicolas Nickelpede is an ordinary insect with one unusual ability: clairvoyance. When he is charged with mapping all of Xanth, the task draws him into a journey through the fantasy series’ many lands, with demons working to misdirect the expedition. A telepathic companion, a woman whose kiss is powerful, and a centaur known for blunt truths join the undertaking. The group encounters demons associated with forces including entropy, alchemy, and volcanoes, as well as a zombie curse. Dangerous puns are part of the team’s arsenal, placing wordplay alongside the adventure and fantastical hazards.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in humorous fantasy set in the world of Xanth.
  • Those who enjoy fantasy journeys involving unusual companions, demons, and magical challenges.
  • Readers who appreciate puns as part of a fantasy adventure.

Book overview

The New York Times-bestselling author returns to his acclaimed fantasy series as an ordinary insect is tasked with mapping the entirety of Xanth.

Nicolas Nickelpede is an average insect in almost every way--apart from his remarkable skill of clairvoyance. When he's approached by a beautiful human woman with a seemingly impossible task, he can't say no--literally. But mapping all of Xanth won't be easy. Especially with demons lying in wait to waylay, misdirect, or otherwise trip them up.

Along the way, Nic and his telepathic companion are joined by a woman with a powerful kiss and a Shameful Centaur with a penchant for hard truths. Together, the team faces the Demons of Entropy, Alchemy, Volcanoes, and more as they traverse the many lands of Xanth, fight a zombie curse, and deploy dangerous puns to save the day.
