Book of Anything

Lup is due to take the throne of Faerun and become queen in a few days, the daughter of a powerful king and wise queen. But it isn't supposed to be like this. Her twin brother Taako was born first, and he is supposed to become king. But he's gone, and nobody has been able to find him for two weeks. As the coronation day grows near, Lup's royal scientist Barry Bluejeans works meticulously to find Lup's brother before it's too late. The spell he finds may be the key to finding Taako, but it carries a heavy price tag.

Taako has been constantly abused by Sazed. One day after a talk Sazed goes to far and lands taako in the hospital. He gets fired from his job after weeks of not going to work. He finally stops moping around Lup and Barry's apartment and begins looking for a job. Lup recommends some jobs in the local area. He goes in for an interview and meets a handsome man. He quickly falls but is careful with his heart not wanting another incident. But he soon learns this man is nothing like Sazed he is truly kind and romantic he really loves taako.

WARNING: HAS A LOT OF CURSING, VIOLENCE, GORE, AND OF COURSE CHEESY ROMANCE. After the crews battle with The Hunger, life had gone at a much slower pace. Especially for Lup. Sure, she had Barry, and Taako, and the rest of the Starblaster crew, but Lup was missing the adrenaline rush of running into a battle, her spell slots ready to be wasted. However, Lup never wanted one of the hardest struggles The Tres Horny Bois faced to come flying back at all of them when they least expected it. WONDERLAND.
