Chosen. Again. by J. Emery

She saved the kingdom once. She didn't expect there to be a repeat performance. At sixteen, Ari fell into a portal and found herself in Callaria, a magical alternate world in need of a hero. So she did the coming-of-age quest. She saved the kingdom and kissed the farmboy turned King. And when she was done... she went home. She never forgot about her time in Callaria. It never forgot her either, and now thirteen years later, she's back. Drafted into the role of Champion once more, Ari discovers that magic doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

Clear Your Shit: Startled by the Wizard! (Character to Fight)

After a lot of trial and error (and wet ankles), we manage to cross the river with a series of logs, rope pullies and then giving up on all that nonsense to walk upriver and find a bridge. On the other side of the river, we run into none other than the Wizard! Great! He must have something for us. Why else would he show up completely out of nowhere? We approach him, practically skipping with excitement. Just before we can reach him however he gives a flick of his wrist and disappears in a cloud of smoke. Heather and I look at each other in stunned confusion before I feel a tug at my bag. I turn just in time to see him pull a copy of Tithe by Holly Black from my bag and disappear again. That jerk! As if things weren't hard enough. I feel the urge to punch the Wizard in his bearded face the next time we see him. I hadn't felt such an urge to deck someone since Nephamael from the book he so rudely stole.
