Harald Darrowdelve is no longer a laughingstock. He’s a rising threat.
His recent delves into the dungeon have transformed him from a disgraced heir into a name whispered by nobles and feared by rivals. His explosive gain in power has caught the eye of every major House in Flutic—and none of them believe it was luck.
Now Harald must navigate a maze of political seductions, shadowy threats, and veiled demands. Some Houses offer patronage. Others offer thinly veiled ultimatums. All want a piece of the secret that let him ascend.
But Harald’s not looking to sell out. He’s building something of his a crew. A charter. A new way forward. One that just might survive the games the Houses play.
Unless the Houses decide to kill him first.
Even with his immense new power, James comes to realize that he is still playing into the hands of the System.
If they are to free earth and redeem the billions dead, James and his crew will have to do more than journey into the Pits of hell or slaughter countless armies of demons - they'll have to find the god-like forces orchestrating the apocalypse, break every rule, and utterly defeat them.
This is the final installation in the Dawn of the Void trilogy. Discover the exciting end to James's desperate attempts to save humanity before the unleashing of the Void.
Audiobook to be released on 11/7/23.
The countdown to Nemesis 3 has begun, pushing humanity closer to the brink of extinction. James and his team are now Earth's last line of defense amidst the chaos of New York City.
But with each Nemesis wave they defeat and each power James unveils, a grim truth unfolds: they're being manipulated. The enemy not only predicts their actions, it feeds on them. Their struggle may be nothing more than a sinister game or a prelude to annihilation.
To stand a chance, they must rewrite the rules. In the dwindling light of hope, James embraces his role as a leader. Tough decisions, impossible sacrifices, and the weight of the world on his shoulders — he'll face it all. But how much of himself will he lose himself in the process?
The audiobook narrated by Tom Taylorson will be available on 8/23/23.
Harald Darrowdelve has squandered every gift life gave him—until he entered the dungeon beneath Flutic and received a demon's dark blessing.
Weak, privileged, and directionless no more, Harald now commands powers forged in darkness. But each new ability and hard-won level drags him deeper into the ruthless politics of noble houses, shadowy rivals, and the celestial war burning beneath the city's streets.
With every victory, the dungeon reshapes him—but at what cost? As Harald ascends the path of power, will he remain master of his fate or become a servant to the darkness within?
Tragedy had reduced James to a nobody. Washed up and homeless in NYC, he thought his life was over.
Then a message appeared in his vision:
60,000 year countdown has ended
Nemesis 1 released
Please acknowledge
As the world falls apart, as billions die, as society collapses and all hope seems lost, James discovers a powerful truth: he was wrong to think himself a nobody. Summoning every ounce of grit and determination, he'll help forge a resistance that will defy humanity's near omnipotent enemy by taking the fight from the streets of NYC to the stars themselves.
And with the dawn of the Void, he'll become the most important person to have ever lived.
I sacrificed everything for my family. It wasn't enough. I lost my mother, and now I'm about to lose my brother.
I've got only one thing left to gamble: my life. Which is why I'm willing to play Euphoria Online in Death March mode.
If I survive six months in-game against a lethal array of wyverns, ogres, necromancers, and more, I'll earn my brother a pardon.
If I lose?
Well. I'm done with losing.
I've managed to survive my first week in Euphoria Online. But I couldn't have done it without my new friends. Lotharia. Falkon. The Green Liver goblins.
But now Lotharia's gone missing. Swallowed by that nightmare keep. Lost to the darkness.
Everyone's telling me that going after her is madness. That I don't have a chance in hell.
But I'm not the kind of guy to turn my back on my friends.
Damn the odds.
I'm going to find her.
I'm entering the endgame.
Even as I gain new allies, new gear, and greater understanding of Albertus' true plans, the odds are growing more extreme.
Whom can I trust? What is the AI Albertus Magnus trying to accomplish? What happened to archmagus Jeramy, and why is Guthorios massing an undead army so vast that it stretches from horizon to horizon?
Any sane player would quit. Any reasonable person would admit defeat.
But I've got no choice.
I'm going to see this battle through to its bitter end. I'm going to unearth the secrets behind Euphoria Online - or die trying.
