A prophecy promised ruin. A steward promised obedience.
What no one promised was that the princess would grow up in the wrong tower-learning magic from a talking skull and befriending furniture with opinions.
Seventeen years later, Ellie is no helpless damsel. She is clever, frighteningly powerful, and determined to decide her own fate. When a mismatched rescue party-an honorable knight, a sharp-tongued sorceress, and a thief with too much charm-arrive to deliver her "home," they discover she has no intention of playing the role her kingdom wrote for her.
As kingdoms plot, elves and dwarves squabble, goblins sell prophecy insurance, and orcs propose committees, Ellie and her unlikely companions stride toward a reckoning. What follows is a tale of crooked towers, misplaced loyalty, and the terrible, wonderful power of growing up with a destiny everyone misunderstood.
Both satirical and heartfelt, The Tower of Mistaken Magic is a fantasy comedy in the spirit of Terry Pratchett and Monty Python-where ruin wears the face of justice, prophecy is just a riddle for bureaucrats, and sometimes the biggest mistake is the one that saves the world.
