Synopsis
Squid, a tween alien cuttlefish, wants to step back from adventuring to focus on her relationship with Chaos, a Demon, but the two must complete one last mission together. A glimpse seven years into the future reveals a darker path, in which Chaos's human host is murdered the night before their wedding. To avert this outcome, Squid and Chaos must travel through time to confront their fate before their wedding becomes a funeral.

- From the series record (Xanth, the expanded sequence (books 34-49)): Closes the Xanth gap: books 34 through 49 (2010-2026), continuing directly from book 33 (Jumper Cable, 2009). All currently published Xanth novels are now catalogued. Two further titles the author has announced (Limbo, Fusia's Friends) have no confirmed publication date and are excluded for now.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
