The manhunt has officially begun.

Now the target of a game-wide Holy War, Ned is forced to flee the Onyx Sands.

The odds are stacked against him; Tyrann has tens of thousands of followers, a religion that’s spreading like wildfire, and a powerful god that will be stepping into the world of EBO in a matter of days.

Meanwhile, Ned’s allies are a squirrel-exploding bard, a repurposed home security system who takes her instructions far too literally, and a wildly unreliable talking axe named Frank.

But even as the inevitable conflict draws closer, change is coming to EBO. An old power is stirring, bringing with it strange new enemies, fearsome challenges, and rewards that every player will be vying to obtain.

There will be blood.

Not enough for Frank, but a very substantial amount.

Anyone who read the first book should be super excited to see that book two is available. I am no exception. Kyle Kirrin is an amazing author who tells amazing stories, not just a hack looking to cash in on the large number of people who are hungry for this genre. You will laugh, cry, cringe, and yearn along with his characters for sure. I don’t think I have ever read a book with so many fist pumps and genuine belly laughs. His world is believable, the world-building is amazing, and Frank is... Well, he's Frank, and Frank is awesome.

Amazing Sequel

One of the absolute BEST LITRPG's OF ALL TIME!!! The characters are interesting with lots of personality, the plot flows effortlessly and the world is immersive. I rarely ever write reviews but this one is worth it. I feel like when I listen to this series that I am right there in the game grinding levels, getting gear and going on raids right along side the characters. Unlike other LITRPG's, this one focuses on the story, the world and the characters without all the repetitive stat babble that other ones from this genre. As the second book in this series, Kyle Kirrin has done it again by making a truly spectacular book! Check it out, I highly recommend.

I can't stop listening to it!!
