The Warrior, the Witch and the Wedding

Love is in the air and Lilly the Virgin is holding her breath. The wedding of the century is only a week away. Except it's Angelet and Derek's wedding and they're just a couple of peasants—how in the world did a peasant wedding turn into a state affair? Rich merchants and the nobility of the realm have invaded Dragon's Landing—for a peasant wedding! What was up with that? And as usual, when the pressure is on, things get weird at the Drunken Dragon's Tavern. Well, weirder.

Wedding guests aren't the only ones showing up. Among the newcomers are a Witch, a gender-swapping Wizardess, a menagerie of unwanted men, and a violence-starved Adventure Party led by the biggest, most handsome, and stupid man Lilly has ever met. The Adventure Party wants to hunt monsters—all of Lilly's best friends. The Wizardess wants a cure to her magical gender change. The men? As far as Lilly can tell, they want to get in her way. At least the Witch is proving useful as a cook.

As if all that isn't enough, bandits, the village elders, and secret cabals are sticking their noses into Lilly's business. Lilly shudders to think what the secret cabals are up to. The village elders want her to "secure her legacy for the sake of the village," whatever that means. But the bandits are the worst of all. They stole all the wedding supplies and with the fate of the wedding hanging in the balance, it's up to Lilly to get them back.

If the wedding happens without a hitch, the reputation of Lilly's tavern and Dragon's Landing will spread across the realm as the place to be. That reputation will lead to wealth which will lead to security for Lilly's monster friends. If she fails, her monster friends will be hunted down for parts to sell to wizards and the village will sink into the worst poverty it's ever known. The stakes are high, but this time it isn't only Lilly's tavern at risk, it's the whole village!
