“m Description: Elric Thorne always believed he was destined for greatness-mainly because a talking goat once told him so. Armed with an ancient prophecy he definitely misinterpreted, a spellbook he can barely read, and a magical sword with better comedic timing than combat skills, Elric sets out to save the kingdom of Virelia from a looming darkness. What he didn't expect was to be roped into a political scandal involving a runaway princess who moonlights as a thief, a shape-shifting fox spirit with a hoarding problem, and a rival hero who might actually be the Chosen One. Along the way, Elric finds himself at the heart of a mystery involving vanishing cities, cursed love letters, and a forgotten war locked away in time. Between dodging assassins, accidentally summoning gelatinous monsters, and falling in love with someone he's technically supposed to betray, Elric realizes heroism is a lot messier-and funnier-than the bards make it sound.”
