"The Princess Bride" meets "People We Meet on Vacation" in this cozy romantasy about a group of friends who once saved their magical land together but haven't spoken in ten years, reuniting to attend a royal wedding then ending up on a new quest to defend the realm, for readers of "Legends and Lattes" and lovers of "Shrek". Ten years ago, they saved the realm. It ruined their lives. In the magical realm of Mythria, everyone knows the story of how best friends Beatrice and Elowen, handsome ex-bandit Clare, and valiant leader Galwell the Great defended the queendom from darkness. It's a tale beloved by all-except the former heroes. They haven't spoken in ten years, devastated by what their quest cost them. But when they receive an invitation to the Queen of Mythria's wedding, it's a summons they can't a reunion for the ages, with Clare secretly not over his long-ago fling with Beatrice; Beatrice fighting guilt for how their first adventure ended; Elowen unprepared for the return of her former flame, the cunning Vandra; and all of them lost without Galwell's presence. And if reuniting with old friends and lovers wasn't perilous enough, dark forces from their past have returned, plotting a domination that only Mythria's one-time defenders can defeat. 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 past, rife with wounds never healed and romances never forgotten. This time around, will their story end in happily ever after?
