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.
