The Necessity of Danger
One of my favorite newly-discovered tropes is that of the reluctant hero. They're not a chosen one, not good at everything right away, don't want to be saving the world. They're dragged kicking and screaming on adventures, complaining about it the whole way, and maybe even suck at the job they have to do at first.
Only including the first book in a series unless they're standalones. Suggestions for all fiction genres welcome!
