Broken Prophecy

BROKEN PROPHECY - the only novel in which a major plot point was decided upon by the author flipping a coin. A fun adventure that satirises fantasy tropes in the style of Terry Pratchett. Ambit Afterman is the Chosen One. Born with the mark of the silver bellflower on his palm and given a magical spear, he is the one whose coming the prophecy foretold. Unfortunately, he would much rather drink beer and get laid - destiny can go fuck itself. Together with his demon friend Snarl, Ambit sets out on a mighty quest - to make sure the prophecy doesn't come true, and avoid doing anything heroic under any circumstances. Along the way he will make polite conversation with demons, not deliver any great speeches, not train with the wise monks, and weasel his way out of adventure and into the nearest pub. But there may just be time to have cheap sex with the beautiful princess along the way.
