Description
The Princess Bride meets People We Meet on Vacation in this cozy quest romantasy about a group of friends who once defended their magical land together but haven't spoken since, reuniting to attend a royal wedding, and ending up on a new adventure to save the realm-and hopefully themselves.
Ten years ago, they saved the realm. It ruined their lives.
Everyone in Mythria knows the story of how best friends Beatrice and Elowen, handsome ex-bandit Clare, and valiant leader Galwell the Great defended the land from darkness. It's a tale beloved by all-except the former heroes. They haven't spoken in a decade, devastated by what their quest cost them.
But when they receive an invitation to the queen of Mythria's wedding, it's a summons they can't refuse . . . and a reunion for the ages, with Clare secretly not over his long-ago fling with Beatrice, Beatrice fighting the guilt she feels over how everything ended, Elowen unprepared for the return of her former flame (the cunning Vandra), and all of them lost without Galwell's presence. And if reuniting with old friends and lovers wasn't perilous enough, dark forces from their past have returned, plotting a domination that only Mythria's one-time defenders can stop. Maybe.
Dusting off old weapons and old instincts, they face undead nemeses, crystal caves, enchanted swords, coffee shops, games of magical Truth or Dare, and, hardest of all, their past-rife with wounds never healed and romances never forgotten.
This time around, will their story end in happily ever after?

Reviews
"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 "When I say this delightful novel has the best Princess Bride vibes, it's the highest compliment I can imagine. On every page, you can feel the joy the authors had crafting this!" - Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author "This Will Be Fun definitely lives up to its title! Cozy, romantic, and highly entertaining, it's a terrific read for anyone who loves to get swept away by the magic of a really enjoyable fantasy novel. I'm looking forward to more from E.B. Asher!" - India Holton, internationally bestselling author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels "This Will Be Fun is 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, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
