About the book

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.

    Witzige Charaktere und süße Geschichte. Nicht besonders viel Tiefgang und sehr versext, hat mich aber dennoch gut unterhalten durch die Absurdität der verschiedenen Situationen und der Charakter-Konstellationen. Eine interessante Mischung, ich bin aber dennoch unsicher, ob ich die Reihe weiterlesen werde, weil ich mir vorstellen kann, dass es weiterhin größtenteils um Sex-Puns und weniger um eine tatsächliche Geschichte gehen wird

    Really, this book may have ruined me for all the other books out there (at least for a day or two). For me this is a second chance book. I tried to read it about a year ago and only to put it away again after the first few pages. I thought it was silly and ridicules. But I gave it another try and I am glad it did. This book has everything I was looking for, an exciting story about a gay wizard on a quest, a touching love story including a hot knight and a lot of extraordinary humour. And a gay unicorn that radiates glitter. But most of all it is really well written, the way the author plays with language and words is really exceptional. Just buy it, you won't regret it.

    This was one of the most hilarious books I've ever read. Yes the humor was a "little" (read: a lot) raunchy sometimes but somehow it all fit together perfectly. Loved it.
