When three friends find themselves in the grimdark fantasy world of their novel, they must grind, battle, and barter to survive the deadly landscape. Redacle is the cold, unforgiving setting for Chronicles of Destiny, Bernard, Kehinde, and Cádo's successful grimdark novel. But when the coauthors find themselves its three newest adventurers—trapped in the perilous landscape of their own creation—they realize that not all is as they intended. With their story gone rogue and filling in plot holes the authors couldn't have imagined, the three must learn how to level up, allocate skill points, and use their class abilities to endure a world filled with deadly foes. Before they know it, the boys are raiding troll lairs alongside witchfinders, fighting off gangs with makeshift explosives, and working as mercenaries for any gold they can scrounge. But their exploits soon bring them to a stark realization: people all over Redacle are in danger, and Bernard, Kehinde, and Cádo must decide whether to help themselves . . . or the countless others who suffer in the world of their book. The first volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost 200,000 views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
