Shh! You’re among the first people to know about the newest World of Vindor novel. Starfall Quest is a humorous romp that follows Vindor’s least notable adventurers as they get into situations they’re absolutely not qualified for.

Adventure calls. The wrong party answers.

Quirky girl Mira Olvidneth is her underground city’s Very Worst Engineer and its Most Despised Bachelorette—and this all before her nineteenth birthday. 

When a goblin friend falls ill and the only cure can be found by the sea, Mira is willing to journey across Vindor’s vast forests to get it—even though she’s never spent a day in the above-ground world. What could go wrong?

To help her, Mira’s cousin sets her up with an adventuring party that’s “the best of the best,” including a centaur warrior, a samurai blademaster, a potion-making magician, and a world-famous navigator. 

But as the party ventures into the wilderness, Mira discovers everything she’s been told about her companions is a lie. Which is … not particularly ideal, especially as the hopeless party bumbles into the clutches of Vindor’s most ruthless warlord.
