Elderpyre Book One

Transient

A guilty verdict. A shot at freedom. A brave new world to explore.

Hunter is a twenty-something college dropout who’s not going anywhere too fast—but not for lack of smarts.

When using a stolen credit card number to order pizza lands him in jail, he thinks he’s hit rock-bottom. All is not lost, though; a mysterious man offers him an unusual deal: delve into Elderpyre, a cutting-edge virtual reality world, and provide the developers with anonymous playtest data.

Things, however, are never that simple—are they?

Someone slips him a mysterious note:

“This is NOT a game.”

Now Hunter must adapt, find allies, and grow stronger in a strange, ancient land, while the lines between fantasy and reality start getting more blurred than ever.

Sometimes painfully, almost lethally so.
