Geoffrey can hardly believe what he’s survived so far in Atallan, a world far wilder and more chaotic than his imagination could ever conjure—and this is a guy who braves Algebra every day! His allies, the fiery Princess Kahlima and the scrappy stable boy Jereb, are counting on him, but as the stakes spiral higher with every step, doubt begins to creep in. Geoffrey begins to notice that the fantasy world he’s plunged into seems to follow all the familiar tropes, and while he can spot them, the real question is: how long can he keep up the act before it all unravels? With a rebellion brewing all around him against the dark wizard Nicolai and his nightmarish General, Geoffrey doesn’t have time to second-guess himself…and the hallways of his high school did not prepare him for this.
