The Source of Magic by Piers Anthony is a fantasy novel of the land of Xanth. King Trent rules a country steeping in enchantment. He is naturally curious about the source of its magic. He orders Blink, the only one of his subjects immune to supernatural harm, to discover the source of Xanth's uniqueness. Blink and his companion Chester the centaur and Crombie the soldier transformed into a griffin, set forth. But they are harassed by an unseen enemy. Even their powers barely save their lives. When the Good Magician Humphrey turns against them, all seems lost. But, the King's orders must be carried out and Blink's wit and luck may prevail....
