What to expect

Schitt’s Creek meets The Princess Bride, in this adorable cozy fantasy, perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes and The Baby Dragon Cafe!

'Hilarious and heartfelt' JAMIE PACTON

'Bromantasy asks the age old question of “Fellas, is it gay to pine after your homie for a decade before having to confront it while on a magical quest?”' ★★★★★

'Chock full of cosiness, fun, found family, skincare mishaps, and totally platonic wrestling with a bro that Juniper definitely doesn’t want to kiss' AUGUST BLOOM

'Part quest shenanigans, part squabbling royals, part part found family, and fully queer delight' ★★★★★

'A deliciously cozy fantasy romp' REBECCA PODOS

⚔️❤️⚔️❤️⚔️❤️⚔️❤️⚔️❤️

Two heroes. One brain cell.

Fellas, is it OK to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you’re unqualified for?

Juniper O’Reilly is good at only two things: demolishing a pint of mead and finding the perfect skincare routine. Everything else – taking care of the farm, bartering for goods, any sort of manual labour – falls to Juniper’s best friend, the absurdly capable, endlessly patient Mo Elmthorn.

But when Juniper accidentally volunteers them both for a quest to kill a fearsome monster, he knows he’s finally gotten in over his head. Juniper hates camping, he hates the dark, and there’s no way all these foraged mushrooms are going to sit well in his stomach. One thing he doesn’t hate? How good Mo’s thighs look in his questing pants – he doesn’t have time to think about that, though, with a monster to hunt and their futures on the line.

But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. When Juniper and Mo realize that the terrifying beast they’ve sworn to kill is just a scared little girl torn from her family, they’re off to find not only the true villain of the story, but maybe even a happy ending.

    I did enjoy this book but genuinely nearly stopped listening because I was so frustrated with Juniper around 2/3 of the way through the book... I think it is a sign of good writing that fictional characters were able to make me so angry. 😂

    Anyway I am very glad I ultimately stuck it out and got to enjoy the ending.
