Once upon a time, in an alleyway in the slums of the City of Lockes, a young and somewhat lonely boy named Sam Haversford turns a group of teenage douchebags into stone completely by accident.

Of course, this catches the attention of a higher power, and Sam's pulled from the only world he knows to become an apprentice to the king's wizard, Morgan of Shadows.

When Sam's 14, he enters the Dark Woods and returns with Gary, the hornless gay unicorn, and a half-giant named Tiggy, earning the moniker Sam of Wilds.

At 15, Sam learns what love truly is when a new knight arrives at the castle - Knight Ryan Foxheart, the dreamiest dream to have ever been dreamed.

Naturally, it all goes to hell when Ryan dates the reprehensible Prince Justin, Sam can't control his magic, a sexually aggressive dragon kidnaps the prince, and the king sends them on an epic quest to save Ryan's boyfriend, all while Sam falls more in love with someone he can never have.

Or, so he thinks.

I purchased this book in paperback a while ago and just couldn’t get into reading it. The story was great and the humor was there, but the writing style was more screenplay then traditional novel and I just couldn’t get into it. Purchasing it on here was a WAY better experience! The narration is excellent, characters come alive, and you can really lose yourself in it. I started the next book immediately!

The Narration Makes This Five Stars

This book has made others see me as a complete lunatic as it has made me laugh out loud in many public places, including the gym!
Michael Lesley’s narration is nothing short of genius even if it did take me a minute and a half to get used to it, and I love the camp deliciousness of Sam and Gary amongst others. The story is wonderful and the characters even more so but the underlying humour has lightened my very own lightning struck heart! Thank you so much to TJ Klune for giving me this experience. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Oh my Gods!
