Carry On meets Arthurian legend in this funny, subversive young adult fantasy about what happens after the chosen one wins the kingdom and has to get married to keep it. . . and to stay alive. Arek hadn' t thought much about what would happen after he completed the prophecy that said he was destined to save the Kingdom of Ere from its evil ruler. So now that he' s finally managed to (somewhat clumsily) behead the evil king (turns out magical swords yanked from bogs don' t come pre-sharpened), he and his rag-tag group of quest companions are at a bit of a loss for what to do next. As a temporary safeguard, Arek' s best friend and mage, Matt, convinces him to assume the throne until the true heir can be rescued from her tower. Except that she' s dead. Now Arek is stuck as king, a role that comes with a magical catch: choose a spouse by your eighteenth birthday, or wither away into nothing. With his eighteenth birthday only three months away, and only Matt in on the secret, Arek embarks on a desperate bid to find a spouse to save his life-starting with his quest companions. But his attempts at wooing his friends go painfully and hilariously wrong. . . until he discovers that love might have been in front of him all along.
The characters have the same dynamic as a well-organized Dungeons & Dragons party and are well rounded and easy to root for. " * School Library Journal * "Reading like the love child of a late-night D&D session gone awry and a romantic drama, Lukens has crafted a delightfully original and whimsical narrative. " * Kirkus Reviews * "Lukens has created a magically expansive world where there' s no homophobia and the only roadblock to romance is having the courage to delve into your own heart. An adventure that' s both madcap and tender. " * Booklist *
