Leave Mundania.
Enter the fabulous, wonder-filled
Land of Xanth

Gloha is the only creature of her kind in all the world of Xanth, the beautiful offspring of a chance mating between a harpy and a goblin. As she grew to womanhood, she wondered where she would find the one true love with whom she could share her life.

So, naturally, she sets off to find the Good Magician Humphrey to ask him for an Answer to the riddle of her heart's desire. But Humphrey, for mysterious reasons of his own, propels her instead on a perilous quest in search of truth, friendship, and, just possibly, happiness.

"Fans of the author's trademark humor will relish [Harpy Thyme], the latest jount through the wacky world of Xanth; new readers too will enjoy the fun."
- Publishers Weekly

"Harpy Thyme is another of Piers Anthony's frothy and delightfully frivolous fantasy novels about the land of Xanth, where puns and playfulness reign supreme."
- The Toronto Star
