Royal Chaos

A wedding gone horribly wrong...
A wizard's revenge...
A wild adventure across the Eleven Kingdoms...

Turnip farmer-turned-hero Jason Cosmo is sure the royal wedding between his wizard friend Mercury Boltblaster and Queen Raella of Raelna will go off without a hitch. But when an assassin's crossbow cuts the ceremony short, Jason and Mercury embark on a mission of bloody vengeance while the Eleven Kingdoms are plunged into war. Enemies old and new bar the way, but nothing will deter our heroes in their relentless hunt for the killers. Not madmen, not monsters, not the mind-altering magic of a maniacal mastermind — not even a giant fire-breathing pig can stop them!

Yet when the trail leads to the demonic doorstep of the Dark Magic Society, Jason and Mercury must face their worst fears brought to life. And that never ends well. (Well, rarely.)

ROYAL CHAOS is the second volume of the classic Jason Cosmo Non-Trilogy, preceded by JASON COSMO and followed by DIRTY WORK.

PRAISE FOR THE JASON COSMO SERIES

"Energetic fantasy adventure...McGirt seems prepared to stoop to the lowest literary levels to set up a joke...gleefully employs coincidence, improbability, and a downright flouting of the laws of narrative.”
—Publishers Weekly

"It’s a very funny fantasy."
—Beat Scene
