Publisher's summary

When Zara awoke to find Valerius, leader of the legendary Gilded Knights, towering over her, she thought she'd gone mad.

She was the Fury, mistress of claw and flame—armies trembled at her name! Now she lay chained and broken, a prisoner in her own home.

But that wasn't why she thought herself mad.

Only yesterday, she remembered a different life. She remembered her nephew in the local arcade, struggling to beat the villainous Zara the Fury in Knights of Eternity. She remembered her uncle and his big booming laugh...

…and she remembered the gun that changed everything.

Stunning start, I can't wait for the next one!

Rachel Nī Chuirc is an incredible story teller, every moment was detailed and kept me enthralled. The story was fast paced, but I felt I truly got to know the characters deeply as well. I can't think of a more perfect narrator for this fantastic book, Andrea Parsneau as always delivered a stellar performance. I can't wait for book 2!!!

Interesting

I am not a fan of the powerlessness of the mc, or the switching between characters pov especially near the end. Gets put in an OP character, but basically removes half her powers because author wants to nerf her. Add her crippling fear.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish

The pacing of the story was amazing! You really start to fall in love with the characters! The only thing I didn’t like was how short it was and how long I have to wait for more.

This book was so good!! A completely new (for me) take on litrpg. I cannot express how strongly I feel about how well written this story is. An absolute masterwork of a series in the making!

Anxiety

I liked the book and the writing I just hope that MC gets over her anxiety over time because I don't know if I can handle anther book where the MC has that much anxiety. It gives me anxiety.

Awesome first entry!

An internet story and a creative world with mysteries to unravel. MC shows growth through past trauma and struggles. Amazing narration!

Simply amazing

What a beautifully told story, I'm only about 20 chapters into it. but so far it has been amazing, the characters are interesting in the story is engaging. I cried within the first three chapters. Such a great way to tell a story, reading it feels like I'm watching an anime. I was very skeptical at first but I'm very glad that I bought this book!

a brilliant new series

absolutely fantastic, in every way except that it had to end. I will be eagerly awaiting more book in this series and from this author

the narration was simply top notch. fantastic range of voices, emotional delivery that matched every scene from introspection to humor to gripping action.

world building and storytelling are simply great, expanding a simple arcade game into a complex and deep world. every character is compelling, and the author does a good job portraying someone suffering with severe anxiety. even the villain is complex and engaging to listen to.

I will eagerly await more
