The chosen one goes off to magic school and heroically fights in an epic battle. You've heard that story a million times before. But have you ever wanted the snarky take, the irreverent, self-aware version that flips these tropes upside down and lovingly pokes holes in some of the logical gaps in the genre's conventions? Clever, refreshing, and full of heart, this hilarious adventure full of pesky magical creatures, golden boy warriors, angsty nerds, and elfin knights will leave you thinking that you might be perfectly alright living in this (mermaidless) land.

Description
Elliot doesn't want to fight, keeps saying the wrong thing, and is definitely the grouchiest human in fantasyland.
