A raiding guild gets trapped in the game! A high-stakes gamer adventure from the best-selling author of THE LEGEND OF ELI MONPRESS and NICE DRAGONS FINISH LAST.
In the real world, twenty-one-year-old library sciences student Tina is invisible and under-appreciated, but in the VR-game Forever Fantasy Online, she’s Roxxy–fearsome warrior, respected leader, and main tank of a top-tier raiding guild.
In the real world, James is a college drop-out drowning in debt, but in FFO he’s famous–an explorer who’s collected every item, gotten every achievement, and done every quest.
Both Tina and James need the game more than they care to admit, but their favorite escape turns into a trap when FFO becomes a living world. Wounds are no longer virtual, stupid monsters become cunning, NPCs start acting like actual people, and death might be forever.
In the real world, everyone said being good at video games was a waste of time. Now, stranded and separated across thousands of miles of new, deadly terrain, Tina and James’s skill at FFO is the only thing keeping them alive. It’s going to take every bit of their expertise–and hoarded loot–to find each other and get back home, but as the stakes get higher and the damage adds up, being the best in the game may no longer be enough.
