Synopsis
A shy young man named Lydell and a world-weary grandmother named Grania seek out the Good Magician to add excitement to their dull lives. He offers them a deal: pilot a magical fireboat to its new owners, in exchange for granting their deepest wishes. Joined by an obnoxious bird and a mechanical dogfish, they travel across Xanth by air, tackling a royal wedding, a werewolf prince's search for a bride, and other odd tasks, while both must stay strictly honest throughout.

Notes
- 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.
