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.
