Two to the Fifth
Synopsis
The magical realm of Xanth faces dire peril from the powerful Ragna Roc, who seeks absolute rule. With even the Good Magician Humfrey unable to confront him directly, cyborg playwright Cyrus is enlisted for a stealthy mission. He must assemble a troupe of traveling players, secretly including princesses Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm, whose magic might challenge Ragna.
However, a spy within the troupe knows Cyrus's forbidden love for one of the princesses, and only a mysterious child and a cryptic clue, 'Two to the Fifth,' can give them an edge against Ragna's dictatorial ambitions.
