Sir Kesrick of Dragonrouge enters the strange world of Terra Magica in search of the stolen pommel stone of the sword Dastagard and has many adventures

Come with us out of this dull, workaday world to Terra Magica, tha land beyond World's Edge, where knights ride out on wonder quests, where beautiful princesses wait for rescue from sea serpents, where sky-high giants seek human morsels for their cookpots, and where a king may seek a champion to set aside his realm's enchantment. Here again is Kesrick, knight of Dragonrouge, in combat against villainy. At his side stand a Scythian princess and a lost nobleman of Tartary. Here be wizards of good and wizards of evil; here be mighty giants and witches of utter meanness. Here be high fantasy from thne golden pen of the Grand Master himself, Lin Carter!

WELCOME TO TERRA MAGICA . . . Terra Magica, the fabulous land next door to our own Terra Cognita, is where trolls and monsters, warriors and wizards vie over virtuous maidens and the wealth of kingdoms . . . Callipygia the Amazon and her stalwart knight Mandricardo had had more than enough. All they really wanted was to avoid the perils, both swordlike and sorcerous, of the many fabled lands of Terra Magica and win their way home. But a realm of roving monsters and wild enchantments is not so easily traveled, and when Callipygia and Mandricardo find themselves trapped on a spell-run flying island from which no one has ever escaped, it signals the start of a madcap romp of magic and menace that will lead them to far-distant lands and new dangers . . .
