He’s dangerous. She’s peaceful. He’s loud. She’s meditative. They don’t see eye to eye, but they’ll have to fight side by side.

Rook has turned his attention onto the newly formed Kingdom of the Iron Dice. In his mind, Joe has become a nuisance that must be squashed. How will Joe's castle prevail when not one, but two armies march upon it? Joe and Zoya no longer have a shield of ignorance to hide behind. If they face Rook, it will be with the full knowledge of their own true mortal peril. They may be Champions, with near-immortality, but they are still just two micro-sentients facing a godlike being.

Joe has the power. The question is, can he hold on to it? The malevolent kingdom of the night is now aware of his presence. A confrontation is guaranteed, just as Rook intended.  

Spooky and Joe are in a gaming reality where it is quickly becoming clear that it is quite real. They are forced to fight monsters, dungeons, and betrayal, but their greatest enemy might be denial. Both Joe and Spooky are now nearly immortal, but how will Joe react when the facts of the situation can no longer be denied? He may never see his late wife in the afterlife. How will Spooky deal with the changes within herself? Neither she nor her co-Champion have the option to become mere mortals again.

This new process will allow him to play in a virtual environment with a fake but healthy and strong virtual body.

But before Joe and Spooky can begin playing the game, they are both summoned to a reality where magic is real.

A dragon, a fae, and a pixie walk into a bookstore… Sounds like a joke, right? For me, it's just an ordinary day on the job. At least, it has been ever since my aunt disappeared and left me with her store, her cat, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. My whole life, I've been told to stay hidden. Pretend I'm human. Sell books, drink tea, and never betray the truth of what I am. But it turns out my aunt had secrets, and a lot of those secrets seem to involve me ending up dead. To survive, I'm going to have to reckon with my past, even if it means placing my trust in a total stranger.

I should have seen it coming. A long time before it came I should have known.I was six or seven years old and there was a girl living next door named Peggy. She was a year older than me and a lot stronger and we were wrestling and she held me down.... All of a sudden it seemed there was something about girls that wasn’t all bad. I didn’t know what it was but I should have known that this first feeling with Peggy Ollendorfer meant that down the road, later, I was in for a big surprise. Afterward, when I was a little older, if you’d asked me what the surprise was like, I’d have said it was about like getting hit by a train.

But don't think for a second that I'm sitting around feeling sorry for myself. No way. I'm on a quest, and it's not for the faint-hearted.

Every night, it's the same--I drown in my dreams. But hey, let's not get all gloomy. I'm Roya Stark, just your average sixteen-year-old from the backwoods of Texas, except I'm not so average. See, when I'm not busy burying my nose in classic literature to dodge my family's sneers, I'm grappling with premonitions. Yeah, you heard right. Visions, hunches, call them what you want--they're getting stronger.

The heart has the power to dream and destroy. So here's where things get really fun—my entire life has basically imploded, and nothing makes sense anymore. Joseph might be the reason the Lucidites' society is crumbling, Zhuang's back and scarier than ever, and Chase—this gorgeous psychopath—keeps demanding I pledge my undying love to him. Oh, and the Institute? It's basically a soap opera of lies, betrayals, and people losing their minds.

When Dreams are Real, the Possibilities are Deadly. So, remember how I said my story was just getting started? Yeah, well, plot twist—I'm now stuck underground with the Lucidites, my brother is mysteriously wasting away, and every person I trusted has decided to stab me in the back. Just when I think I've finally found a way out of this underground nightmare, a secret society of Dream Travelers declares war by kidnapping a Lucidite official. Guess who gets to play detective and save everyone she cares about? That's right—yours truly.
