One prophecy. Two possible heroes. And absolutely no clarity on which one it is.
Wizard Jackdaw has finally deciphered the Uppercase Prophecy, a mysterious riddle that reveals the fate of the entire kingdom. There is just one small problem.
The kingdom's only hope lies in... someone.
With a crucial piece missing, it is unclear whether that someone is a gallant knight destined for greatness or a sub-assistant goat herder with a very similar name and significantly fewer qualifications.
To find the truth, both are sent on a quest to unravel the three parts of the Riddle of Ages. If they succeed, they might stop ELM, a surprisingly small Dark Lord with very large ambitions to disrupt the kingdom's all-important magic bean harvest.
If they fail, magic bean production will collapse, the kingdom will fall into darkness, and the world will be deprived of its most sacred treasure: magic-bean burritos.
No pressure.
With time running out, the unlikely heroes must rely on a washed-up wizard, an un-distressed damsel, and a thoroughly rejected evil sidekick. What follows is a wildly unpredictable adventure full of wrong turns, questionable decisions, and just enough luck to keep things from completely falling apart.
This novelization of the musical A Wonderful Day for a Quest includes 99% more humorous footnotes and 100% more chaos.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Laugh-out-loud fantasy packed with absurd twists
- Parodies of classic quest stories and heroic tropes
- Misfit heroes who succeed despite themselves
- Fast-paced, binge-worthy fantasy adventures
For fans of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and delightfully ridiculous quests that refuse to behave.
Two heroes. One prophecy. And a kingdom that really needs those beans.
