This book is pure serotonin. It gave me laugh lines. It gave me five chaotic, middle-aged men fighting gods, monsters, and their own cholesterol levels. And I loved every single page!

Imagine a legendary band of mercenaries who used to be rockstars (but like, with swords), now older, out of shape, a little broken, and still absolute legends. They get the band back together for one last tour to save the leader’s daughter. And oh my God, what a ride.

Who are they?
- The reluctant hero, professional worrier
- The dramatic leader with a death wish
- The chaotic wizard with too many feelings and zero shame
- The drunk king who hides knives everywhere
- And the silent murder machine who just wants his life back

I laughed, HARD. I wanted to hug them all and feed them soup.
Under all the monster guts and fun is a story about love, friendship, second chances, and the disaster that is growing older and still giving a damn.
LEGENDS. ABSOLUTE LEGENDS.
