Synopsis
Jess carries a curse that keeps others from taking her seriously, until Magnus, a showman running a traveling theater troupe, offers her a partnership if she joins his quest. Consulting the Good Magician, they gain use of a magical fireboat in exchange for completing a mission involving night mares, day mares, and one or two future princesses. Investigating further, Jess and Magnus learn their real task is to save Xanth from a large, vengeful bird.

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.
