Synopsis
Kody wakes from a coma to find himself in Xanth, now afflicted by a Mood Reverse curse that makes the beautiful appear ugly and vice versa. Immune to the curse, he is enlisted to help find and defuse a hidden Mood Reverse Bomb, traveling with a small group of companions through dangerous parts of Xanth. The title comes from Kody mentally reversing the phrase Reverse Doom into Esrever Doom.

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.
