When a grandmother is declared the Chosen One, she abandons her rocking chair to challenge the Dark Lord who plots to destroy the world.

--

Formerly a single mother, now a devoted grandma, Granny Thayer has never left her hometown before, let alone slayed a demon. But she'd better learn fast; she's just been selected as the Chosen One, the only hero who can defeat the nefarious Dark Lord of Devnia and avert a zombie apocalypse. Accompanied by a devastatingly handsome prince, a failed bard, and a werewolf with a dangerous secret, Granny Thayer embarks on a quest full of intrigue and love triangles to save her grandson.

This is a collaboration for ONC 2022/2023, written by CMF_Wright and Spelunkadunk. Prompt: "It's always what/who you least expected that blows your mind away."

Goose's Thoughts:

This week we are jumping into one the funniest, but strangely heart-warning collaborated!

Going into this story, I knew to expect a lot of chaos throughout and boy did it deliver on pretty much every single front. CMF and Dunk do an incredible job with the humour throughout the story that had me silently giggling to myself countless times. From the constant small jibes at Wattpad, to turning some very popular tropes on their head, this story just has everything a humour story could need. 

What I really loved was just how the happy, chaotic moments of were-rabbits, and 'The Witcher' references, were interspersed with the more sad scenes. Granny Thayer's constant thoughts about her missing son Arthur really help to balance the more crazy scenes in the story. There are plenty of sweet moments throughout the story that just make it all the more interesting.

Not only have CMF and Dunk done a great job setting up the world and the characters, but the budding romance between Kingsley and Granny Thayer herself is adorable. From the very beginning, we get to watch their relationship flourish and grow even if the two of them find it to be an unexpected development.  The two of them are just really cute together and I love watching their relationship grow.

If you are looking for something chaotic, but also sweet and wholesome, this is definitely the story for you. I would sincerely recommend this to everyone so you can also experience the chaos. 

Thank you for writing such an amazing story, Dunk and CMF!
