The Ignoble Invasion of Prince Proculo

Praise for Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die


“Goofy and fresh and very, very funny.” The New York Times


“Come for the silliness, stay for the twists.” Caitlin Rozakis, New York Times bestselling author of Dreadful and The Grimoire Grammar School


“When times are hard, comedy feeds the soul. I promise this book will make you laugh. The only way it could be improved is with more man-on-vulture action. Five stars.” Alexandra Rowland, author of Running Close to the Wind


“A rollicking blend of whimsy and madness that kept me on my toes the whole way through. This tale takes the cookie cutter ideal of heroes and villains and twists them into all sorts of new shapes (sometimes quite literally) with delightful results.” Maiga Doocy, Sunday Times bestselling author of Sorcery and Small Magics


“Sir Cameron is one of those heroes that you not only want, but need. Is he brave? No. Smart? Not really. Talented? Absolutely not. Did I relate to him? One hundred percent. He just wants to stay alive, and his antics to do so—like throwing in his lot with an evil sorcerer—lead to a story full of humor, warmth and depth. Stothers takes a fresh slant on time honored tropes, gleefully using them to skewer concepts of identity, gender, class and religion. The result is a hilarious romp full of satire, heart, and the overriding question: who gets to decide what’s evil and what’s good anyway? I thoroughly loved it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy that makes them laugh.” Lish McBride, author of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer


“From the very first page, I knew I was in for a good time. With vibrant characters, delightfully weird worldbuilding, and an absurd plot, this was one of the most entertaining stories I’ve read this year. If you like outrageous (complimentary) science fantasy, you’re in for an enormous treat.” Kemi Ashing-Giwa, USA Today bestselling author of The Splinter in the Sky


“Full of cozy heart and charm, with a delightfully hilarious main character—I kicked my feet all the way through.” Charlotte Stein, author of When Grumpy Met Sunshine


“A delightfully unpredictable fantasy adventure that turns familiar tropes on their heads in increasingly hilarious ways, Stothers perfectly blends heart, humor, and charming absurdity into your new favorite read.” Camilla Raines, author of The Hollow and the Haunted


“A whimsical, densely plotted queer fantasy deconstruction, flavored with sci-fi, romance, and horror. Recommended for fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, or Diana Wynne Jones.” Library Journal STARRED Review
