In Floyd's village, turning eighteen means one thing: you're out.
Sent into the world on his Journey, he's supposed to come back a man, bearing epic stories to tell by the hearth. Except Floyd thinks the whole tradition is stupid, reckless, and borderline homicidal. And he's not wrong.
Armed with zero wilderness skills and a stubborn sense of sarcasm, he's cold, wet, lost, and about to become easy prey for press-gangs and worse.
Enter Faux: a beautiful, dangerous, shape-shifting elf who claims she's there to keep him alive. She can turn invisible, conjure anything she wants, and read his every thought. She also has her own agenda, and one kiss from her can make a man hers forever.
Together, they'll outwit slavers, bargain with seductive White Ladies, traverse enchanted forests, and ride a ship halfway around the world in search of a destiny Floyd never asked for. Along the way, he'll discover love, betrayal, magic, and a simple truth he can't escape: leaving a boy and returning a man means paying a price he may not be ready for.
The Journey is an irreverent, bawdy, and heartfelt coming-of-age fantasy filled with adventure, humor, and a reluctant hero you can't help but root for. Perfect for fans of The Princess Bride, Discworld, and classic quest fantasies with a clever twist.
