The New York Times–bestselling fantasy author reveals surprising new dimensions within the magical realm of Xanth in this rollicking adventure novel.

Surprise Golem and her husband Umlaut are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their baby—which should be delivered by stork any day. But when the bundle of joy fails to arrive, Surprise is more than a little upset. The Stork assigned to make the delivery has inexplicably refused to surrender the child, and instead flies off through a hole in the fabric of reality.

To track down her offspring, Surprise must lead an ill-assorted assemblage of confederates on a desperate quest through dozens of different Xanths. But sinister, unseen forces are determined to stop her. And in order to find her child, Surprise may have to lose her heart.
