';Ranks among the best of Christopher Moore and Terry Pratchett.'Chuck Wendig

';When you put two authors of this high caliber together, expect fireworks. Or at least laughs. What a hoot!'Terry Brooks

Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, a hero, the Chosen One, was born .

. . and so begins every fairy tale ever told.

This is not that fairy tale.

There isa Chosen One, but he is unlike any One who has ever been Chosened.

And there isa faraway kingdom, but you have never been to a magical world quite like the land of Pell.

There, a plucky farm boy will find more than he's bargained for on his quest to awaken the sleeping princess in her cursed tower.

First there's the Dark Lord, who wishes for the boy'suntimely death . . .

and also very fine cheese. Then there's a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, the Dread Necromancer Steve, and a strange and wondrous journey to the most peculiar ';happily ever after' that ever once-upon-a-timed.

';Will have you laughing out loud until strangers begin to look at you oddly.'SyFy

';A smart comedy .

. . nuanced, complicated, and human.'Tordotcom
