Synopsis
The cost of survival may be more than he bargained for. Ward Dyer, a seasoned Port Authority detective, tracks a kidnapper to the eerie, forgotten tunnels of the Seattle underground—a place where shadows whisper and danger lurks. He disrupts a human sacrifice, but the victory leaves him gravely wounded and teetering on the brink of death. He’s approached by a mysterious young woman with an offer he can’t refuse. In exchange for a cryptic price, she saves him—sending him to Vainglory, a system of worlds where magic intertwines with the unknown, and mysteries unravel in the darkest corners. Now, with a devilish presence haunting his thoughts, Ward embarks on the Vainglory Challenges—a perilous quest for power, riches, and the elusive secrets that may hold the key to his salvation—or his undoing. From Plum Parrot, the bestselling author of Victor of Tucson and Cyber Dreams , comes this new Isekai LitRPG Adventure where the line between hero and villain blurs.
