Description:

What happens when the Chosen One decides she'd rather not, thank you very much? Twelve-year-old Tassie Monk has always longed for adventure, but she's kept safely locked away in the Citadel by her fretful guardian, the Chief Steward. Then the Wisest of the Wise arrives to proclaim her the Chosen One — destined to save the Isles of Peryll from a sinister Shadow stirring after a thousand years. One problem: being the Chosen One sounds like absolutely zero fun, and Tassie is nothing like the prophecy's mild-mannered hero. So she sets out to dodge her destiny by tracking down the real Chosen One — dragging her inventor griffin best friend, Spin, along on a madcap quest past dragons, sneaky elves, grumpy orcs, and a trio of hapless wraiths. Gloriously silly, warm-hearted, and laugh-out-loud funny.
