The Princess Bride meets People We Meet on Vacation in this cozy quest romantasy about a group of friends who once defended their magical land together but havenât spoken since, reuniting to attend a royal wedding, and ending up on a new adventure to save the realmâand hopefully themselves.
Ten years ago, they saved the realm. It ruined their lives.
Everyone in Mythria knows the story of how best friends Beatrice and Elowen, handsome ex-bandit Clare, and valiant leader Galwell the Great defended the land from darkness. Itâs a tale beloved by allâexcept the former heroes. They havenât spoken in a decade, devastated by what their quest cost them.
But when they receive an invitation to the queen of Mythriaâs wedding, itâs a summons they canât refuse . . . and a reunion for the ages, with Clare secretly not over his long-ago fling with Beatrice, Beatrice fighting the guilt she feels over how everything ended, Elowen unprepared for the return of her former flame (the cunning Vandra), and all of them lost without Galwellâs presence. And if reuniting with old friends and lovers wasnât perilous enough, dark forces from their past have returned, plotting a domination that only Mythriaâs one-time defenders can stop. Maybe.
Dusting off old weapons and old instincts, they face undead nemeses, crystal caves, enchanted swords, coffee shops, games of magical Truth or Dare, and, hardest of all, their pastârife with wounds never healed and romances never forgotten.
This time around, will their story end in happily ever after?
