This Will Be Interesting: A Novel

Set in the same magical world as E. B. Asher's USA Today bestseller This Will Be Fun, this fantasy novel follows an unlikely group of heroes investigating an assassination plot while adhering to one rule: do not fall in love with your questmates. Galwell True was a legendary hero who sacrificed himself to save the realm, only to be unexpectedly resurrected ten years later. Now he feels lost rather than great. River Pricemark is an assassin tasked by the Deathrose Guild with eliminating Galwell, but her ambush is interrupted by Celine Hazelton, a scribesheet reporter investigating why the Guild targets Galwell—and Celine is River's childhood crush. Queen Thessia of Mythria, tired of being a damsel, transforms her royal honeymoon into a rescue mission when she learns Galwell, her ex, is in danger. As the group travels through underground lairs, magical grottos, and across the opulent land of Vestriya, Galwell must work with his new questmates, including Vestriyan criminal Mona Grandhart. He establishes a single rule for the quest: no romance. The adventure includes dangerous impersonators, a horseball championship, and themes of friendship, found family, and various romantic dynamics among the characters.
