"A romp with tongue firmly in cheek." --Booklist (starred review)

What happens when the Chosen One decides to go on strike?

Tassie has always dreamt of a life of adventure and exploration. Instead, she's stuck in the Citadel under the care of the Chief Steward, well away from any form of danger. When the Wisest of the Wise Witches comes to visit and proclaims her the Chosen One, destined to save her people from death and destruction, Tassie realizes why she's spent her life under lock and key--in order to fulfill a prophecy. Can she refuse the role and find an alternative? Along with her best friend, a griffin named Spin, she embarks on a hilarious epic quest through magical lands in a race against time.
