Dara Ruminor is a competitive duelist in Vertigon, where athletes live like kings as long as the crowds love them. She’s good with a sword but can’t figure out how to charm the spectators like a true champion.

When Dara is asked to train with Prince Siv, the heir to the throne, she faces her most difficult opponent yet. Handsome, charismatic, and utterly infuriating, he refuses to take the sport—or her—seriously.

But someone wants Prince Siv dead, and Dara might be the only one who can protect him. With assassins lurking in the shadows and tensions brewing between the kingdom’s magic wielders, Dara and Siv need each other’s help with more than just dueling. Skill with a blade might not be enough to save them.

Log-in or die.

Clay is running out of options. He can sit back and let the ZERO virus kill him or he can make the gamble of a lifetime.

The world’s most advanced virtual reality video game, Arcane Kingdom Online, is now accepting new players in a one-way ticket to digital reincarnation. But here’s the catch: the process isn’t guaranteed.

Worse, the game is buggy beyond belief, and a patch is far from done.

Even worse than worse, no one has seen the game’s creator in years.

So yeah: the odds aren’t great. But if the alternative is mutating into a mindless flesh-eater on an increasingly depopulated Earth, might as well give the game option a try, right?

Press play to start.
