THE EDGE OF THE EARTH
Genre: Fantasy Author: Robert MacLean Cover: Michael Cox eBook (popular formats): Fictionwise.com, $4.95
Under the influence of the evil Lord of Time, the King of Larme offers his crown and daughter to whomever can answer a riddle, pass through an ordeal that harms all who attempt it, and finally tell a joke that will make the princess laugh. A mountain farmer's three sons take the test. Warrior Gryn journeys to the past; the thinker Blon goes into the future; and the youngest, a magician, penetrates the present.
