Zombie Lover, Anthony's newest Xanth adventure, is the thrilling tale of Brianna, a beautiful, brassy young black girl with a distressing dilemma. She has unwittingly attracted the affections of King Xeth, ruler of Xanth's Zombies, who yearns to make her Queen of the Undead!
Her quest to preserve her innocence -- and escape a fate that is literally worse than death -- leads from the regions of Madness to the evanescent Isle of Women, which is ruled by voracious vamps, and on to Xanth's myriad "worlds of maybe" orbiting Queen Ida's head. And it brings the return of many familiar Xanth characters, including King Dor, Prince Dolph, Bink and Chameleon, and Justin Tree, who becomes her spirit guide on this oddest of odysseys.
Packed with perils, puzzles and piles of puns, Zombie Lover provides much macabre merriment for Xanth's many fans.

"(
Zombie Lover is a) cheeky new installment in Anthony's popular series about Xanth....Anthony combines Breanna's tale with a sweeter one, that of Jenny Elf's love for handsome werewolf Prince Jeremy. He also revives several engaging characters from earlier novels to spice up the girls' adventrues....Xanth devotees should be delighted." --
