Adam's life is made miserable by people at both school and home, but in virtual worlds he feels like himself. When a new VRMMORPG launches, he dives in and chooses the Slayer class—specialists in taking down stronger opponents. The pain is real, and death is permanent. Trapped in the game as Zander Darkblade, Adam must navigate a world of mighty creatures, fallen gods, and familiars that bond with their masters to grant extraordinary powers. And buried beneath it all are secrets that have lain hidden far too long.

Glenn, a college sophomore, needs material for a sociology paper on unfamiliar groups—so he tags along to his university's game club. A creepy game moderator runs a session of Monsters, Maces and Magic, and before anyone can blink, Glenn and five other players are literally pulled into the game, transformed into their RPG characters. How they got there matters less than surviving a world filled with horrific creatures, unknown magic, and perilous roads. Glenn must adapt to life as a gnome healer while the group searches for a way back home.

The Doomsday Trials had one purpose: forge the ultimate warrior using every age of human history as a gauntlet, from the stone age to a future of demonic hordes and twenty-foot mechs. No one ever advanced. Everyone died, and the trials were forgotten. Then Felix falls from the sky — naked, broken, five hit points — with a sabretooth tiger about to end him in the primordial jungle. The system hasn't been updated in centuries, but Felix is an obsessive gamer who knows how to exploit rules and stats. Suddenly, he is doing what no one has done in ages: winning. First priority: don't die. Next: find some pants.

Having survived his first months on Eos, Brian Fieldings has much on his plate: revenge, justice, and shiploads of refugees arriving on the continent. To address any of it, he and his companions must grow far stronger and find allies — because some of their challenges are as much political as physical. Their role in saving a grand duke's daughter opens doors to high society, but the court in Trynfall is every bit as dangerous as any dungeon. And then there's the mysterious title that appeared on Brian's record: Agent of the Wild. What is the Wild, and what does serving it mean?

Russell Logan was a good cop, framed and on his way to prison. When a cutting-edge tech company offers him the chance to serve his time virtually inside Virtua — a digital fantasy world run by a quantum AI called MOTHER — it seems like the smart choice. But MOTHER has plans for him. She knows a real-life invasion of her world is coming, and she needs Logan to protect her people. It won't take long for Logan to realize this isn't a game at all: it's real, and failure means death.
