Tower of the Shaded One - Mark Haugaard - Bog

Zayun is dying, corrupted by an unknown evil. The princess, whose magic has kept the land beautiful and safe, has been kidnapped, and Nick, a science nerd who suddenly finds himself in Zayun after falling through the rotting floorboards of an old house, is unwillingly forced into a quest to save the princess, along with his companions St. George, the knight; Chiron the centaur; Sun Wukong, the Monkey King; and the talking wolf, Úlfur. Nick wants nothing to do with this cliché quest, but his companions are convinced that he is meant to help them. Nick must learn to adapt if he wants to survive and find his way home... and learn why he was chosen for this strange adventure in the first place.
