Description

A gargoyle finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place in this Xanth adventure that should delight Anthonys many fans (Publishers Weekly).

As a gargoyle, Gary Gar has one job in Xanth: to protect the Swan Knee River from the pollution flowing in from Mundania. But more dirt plus less rain will crack any gargoyles stony composure.

So Gary does what any good Xanthian would do: He seeks the help of the Good Magician. But payment for his service is high. Gary must find a philter for the water, while taking on human form to tutor a wild human child, with help from the surly Sorceress Iris, andeven though time is of the essencetaking Hiatus, a known troublemaker, along for the ride.

It wont be easy, especially when theyre all transported back to the dawn of time. And if they cant figure out whats going on in the past, there may be no future for Xanthcome hell or high water ...
