Quest
A Fantasy Novel by A.J. Ponder
Book 1 of the The Sylvalla Chronicles Series
Subgenres & Tropes:
- Adventure Fantasy,
- Quest Fantasy,
- Magic School,
- Princesses,
- Humorous Fantasy
This book is for you if you're into...
- Adventure fantasy that pokes fun at classic hero tropes
- Unlikely companions who'd rather avoid danger than seek it
- Princesses who ditch tradition for monster-hunting and mayhem
Sylvalla escapes Avondale castle and the life of a princess, in search of the adventure she's always wanted. Once found, adventure bites back. Fortunately, she's not alone. Unfortunately, her new-found companions are less than heroic. Jonathan would rather make money than learn wizardry. Dirk would rather live a long and happy life than confront danger. And at 150, old Capro would rather stop gallivanting, and harangue unsuspecting wizardry students about his glory days over a nice cup of tea.
Quest has everything, heroes, monsters, chases, escapes and a complete lack of true love. A celebration of adventure fantasy, Quest is a quirky and original fantasy. Become a student of magic today, and discover the true fighter, warrior, and most unprincesslike Princess Sylvalla, as she battles for her place as a hero.
