Wayward Son

Simon Snow thought his story was finished—he'd defeated the villain, won the war, and found love—but he's stuck in a post-adventure funk that even a legendary chosen one can't seem to shake. When his best friend Penny decides a cross-country road trip in a vintage convertible is exactly what he needs, Simon finds himself hurtling across the American West with Penny and Baz, stumbling into magical creatures, getting spectacularly lost, and discovering that the real adventure might be figuring out who he is when he's not saving the world. This is a swoony, witty, sometimes hilarious journey about what happens after happily-ever-after—where the messy, complicated, wonderful part of life actually begins. If you loved the found family dynamics and swoon of the original trilogy, this one's a must-read for watching your favorite characters grow up and figure out what comes next.
