A young woman living in a fantasy role-playing game finds herself caught up in political intrigue in this epic LitRPG adventure for Dungeons & Dragons fans.
Adjusting to life in the magical realm of Latora hasn't been easy for Kandis Hammond. The twenty-four-year-old was plucked from her life in Sydney, Australia, and tossed into the Great Game without even a thread of clothing. But she's managed to survive the real-life role-playing game, gaining experience points and leveling up. Now she has a team of adventuring companions, and she's even become Councillor of the thriving frontier town of Talnier.
With her charisma and charm abilities, Kandis is a natural politician. She's been selected to travel to the royal palace in Dorsay to have the king confirm Talnier's charter. So, with her fellow adventurers by her side, she begins her journey to the capital.
But while it sounds like a simple diplomatic trip, Kandis has managed to gain a few enemies during her brief time in Latora. And one?if not all?of them would be more than happy to ensure she never returns home . . .
