Elara never asked to be a hero. In fact, she'd much rather be perfecting her sourdough starter and avoiding conversations that require more than three syllables. Unfortunately for Elara, fate, in its infinite and often irritating wisdom, has other plans. She's been saddled with a prophecy, a grumpy talking badger with an alarming obsession with shiny objects, and the distinct possibility of being the only thing standing between a mediocre kingdom and utter annihilation by a particularly dramatic dragon. Join Elara as she stumbles, trips, and occasionally blasts her way through a world brimming with questionable magic, even more questionable allies, and a distinct lack of decent coffee. It's an adventure, sort of. Mostly it's a series of unfortunate events that Elara will undoubtedly complain about. This isn't your typical epic quest. Prepare for a journey where courage is often masked by sheer panic, friendship is forged in the fires of mutual exasperation, and self-discovery is less about finding oneself and more about realizing how utterly unprepared you are for everything. Elara's reluctant odyssey is a sarcastic celebration of the ordinary person thrust into extraordinary (and often inconvenient) circumstances, proving that sometimes, the greatest magic lies in surviving the chaos with your wit, and perhaps a slightly singed cloak, intact.
