Book One of A Wonderful Week for a Quest
A Wonderful Day for a Quest
A prophecy. A riddle. A wizard, a knight, and far too many footnotes.
Begin a fast, funny, family-friendly fantasy adventure filled with magic beans, heroic misunderstandings, and a narrator who refuses to stay out of the story.
Your Next Quest Includes
Clean Fantasy Fun
An accessible adventure for families, middle-grade readers, teens, and adults who prefer their quests without grimdark baggage.
Classic Quest Ingredients
Wizards, knights, riddles, prophecies, magical objects, and at least one suspiciously important bean.
Humorous Footnotes
Jackdaw’s running commentary supplies history, corrections, opinions, and several details no responsible narrator would include.
A Quick Adventure
A light, lively opening volume that launches a seven-book journey without requiring a seven-book commitment up front.
The Story
The Kingdom’s Only Hope Is…Someone
The wizard Jackdaw has deciphered the uppercase Prophecy, a mysterious riddle that foretells the kingdom’s fate. Unfortunately, the prophecy is not especially specific about who is supposed to save everyone.
Jackdaw and a certain would-be hero must set out to unravel the three parts of the Riddle of Ages. Their journey brings magical beans, dangerous obstacles, questionable decisions, and enough narrator commentary to make the footnotes nearly a second adventure.
Perfect for readers who enjoy fantasy conventions, absurd complications, and heroes who may not have read the job description.
Step Inside the Adventure
Speak with Sir Roderick
Ask the kingdom’s most self-assured knight about quests, monsters, bravery, and any topic on which he has developed an opinion without first developing expertise.
