Book Synopsis
Set in the same magical, madcap world as E. B. Asher's USA Today bestseller This Will Be Fun, this heartwarming, hilarious fantasy follows an unlikely band of heroes who must get to the bottom of an assassination plot gone wrong without breaking the one rule of questing: do not fall in love with your questmates.
Galwell True was the perfect hero, the legend who sacrificed himself to save the realm...only for his friends to unexpectedly resurrect him ten years later. These days, he's feeling less "Galwell the Great" and more "Galwell the Lost."
River Pricemark is an excellent assassin. When the Deathrose Guild, an organization known for banishing evil, tasks her with eliminating Galwell, she sees her chance to climb the ranks. So, it's bad luck when her ambush is interrupted by Celine Hazelton, a scribesheet reporter who questions why the Guild is targeting Galwell at all. It's worse luck that Celine is also her childhood crush.
Queen Thessia of Mythria is tired of being the damsel. She's just married the kind and handsome King Hugh and is meant to live happily ever after--but her story feels incomplete. Upon learning Galwell, her ex, is in danger, she turns her royal honeymoon into a rescue, bringing everyone overseas to the opulent land of Vestriya.
Between underground lairs, magical grottos, horseball matches, and masquerades, Galwell must rely on his newfound questmates--including beautiful Vestriyan criminal Mona Grandhart, who seems determined to corrupt him in more ways than one. Good thing he's set a single rule for everyone on this quest: no romance.
But we all know how this ends, don't we?
Filled with dangerous impersonators, the inimitable power of friendship, and the realm's most infamous horseball championship, This Will Be Interesting is a slow burn, cozy, and hilarious quest romantasy featuring:

"A sophisticated and gently satirical work of unabashed romanticism about what happens after the quest is won, the heroes returned, the boons granted, the story ended...but life goes on." -- Ted Elliott, writer of Shrek, on This Will Be Fun
"A clever fairy tale romp for grown-ups and a comforting reminder that even heroes have to figure out this whole adulting thing. If you like stories full of voice, humor, and heart, look no further." -- Megan Bannen, USA Today bestselling author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, on This Will Be Fun

Asher!" -- India Holton, USA Today bestselling author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels
"A deliciously fresh new voice in cozy fantasy, Asher's riotous tale of wounded love and lost valor ensorcelled me from page one.

MacLean, author of The Phoenix Keeper
"Recommended for fans of cozy fantasy and romance." -- Library Journal
