Mayhem and the Mortal by Shanora Williams is a darkly hilarious romantasy adventure that marries the fantastical worlds of Dungeons & Dragons and The Wizard of Oz. In this tale, a young woman embarks on a perilous journey to rescue her sister from an evil sorcerer's curse with the aid of a ruthless assassin.

After a dark sorcerer curses her sister, Zaira is thrust into a race against time to save her only living relative. The path to salvation lies in reaching the Prosperity Stone hidden within a deadly temple from which no man has ever emerged alive.

Living as a mere mortal in Thelanor, surrounded by magic wielders and intimidating beasts, Zaira's chances of survival seem slim. That is until she encounters Thane Valkor, a mysterious and brooding man of few words.

Upon meeting Thane, Zaira feels an inexplicably deep connection with him and quickly realises that he might be the key to saving her sister's life. With his help, she hopes to conquer the impossible and break the curse that threatens to destroy her family.
