The first book in a hilarious and magical adventure series that takes common fantasy tropes and spins them on their head. This is highly accessible and laugh-out-loud funny storytelling from the New York Times bestselling author of The House at the Edge of Magic.

Tassie has always dreamt of a life of adventure and exploration. Instead, she’s grown up in the Citadel under the care of the Chief Steward, well away from any form of danger.

When the Wisest of the Wise Witches comes to visit and proclaims her the Chosen One, destined to save her people from death and destruction, Tassie realizes why she’s spent her life wrapped in cotton wool. The time of fulfilling the prophecy is nigh – but unfortunately, it doesn’t sound much fun!

Deciding she can’t possibly take on the role of the Chosen One, Tassie resolves to find an alternative. Along with her best friend, a griffin called Spin, and an enigmatic elf known as Darley, she embarks on an epic quest through magical lands in a race against time.

Perfect for fans of Diana Wynne Jones, Abi Elphinstone and Dominique Valente, Amy Sparkes's latest series is bursting with imagination and fun.
