Rowell, Rainbow

After his prior adventures, the Chosen One Simon Snow, now without magic, feels depressed and traumatized. Penny offers three tickets to America to embark on a new mission to save Agatha from a vampire conspiracy. So Simon, Penny, and Simon's vampiric love Baz take a vintage convertible across the American West. Along the way they encounter dragons, vampires, creatures, and a new magic that they know nothing about, but that threatens to destroy the world.

"The story is supposed to be over. Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. He beat the villain. He won the war. He even fell in love. Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after . . . So why can't Simon Snow get off the couch? What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. He just needs to see himself in a new light . . . That's how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. They find trouble, of course. (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost"--Back cover.
