Three cloistered nymphs discover the wild land of Xanth in this epic adventure from the acclaimed fantasy author.

The idyllic splendor of the Faun & Nymph Retreat never grows old. With not a stitch of clothing in sight, the fauns give chase, the nymphs play hard to get, and they celebrate—as they put it—when they come together. Over and over again.

But when three nymphs accidentally escape from the retreat, the simple creatures discover a far more complicated reality in the world of Xanth. Suddenly, they need to wear clothes, find shelter, eat food—and perform messy natural functions that weren’t operational before.

As they face these challenges, the nymphs set off on a journey to the Queendom of Thanx and soon find themselves on a mission to tame the five Elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and the Void. And while they grapple with threats from each, they discover that saving the universe can be even more fun than a faun-filled day in the Retreat.
