Roc and a Hard Place (Magic of Xanth #19) by Piers Anthony

Seeking a solution to a perplexing personal problem, the delectable Demoness Metria asks for help from the wise Magician Humfrey. But before he will help her, she must perform a perilous mission: Rove the length and breadth of Xanth in search of a suitable jury for the trial of Roxanne Roc-a notably noble and virtuous bird charged with a most improbable offense.

Exciting, exhilarating, and brimming with hilarious high jinks, Roc and a Hard Place is Xanth at its most enchanting.

The 19th novel in this lighthearted series, popular for its puns andits innocent naughtiness, is again set in the fantasy land of Xanth(Demons Don't Dream ). Here, Anthony tells the story of the DemonessMetria and her other selves, the crazy D. Mentia and the waif WoeBetide, as they carry on a mission for the Good Magician Humfrey:Metria and company must assemble a court and jury to try Roxanne Roc,under unspecified charges from another magical Xanth bird, the Simurgh.
