Overview

When a powerful fugitive escapes, his captors vow to keep him in line by committing unspeakable acts across the galaxy, in this action-packed portal fantasy. After saving Ralqir from the apocalyptic plague known as the Scourge, Ryan Kotes returns home a bona fide Exotic. But instead of being welcomed with joyous fanfare, he's met with suspicion and a cold, dark cell. The powerful Marshal family, wary of Ryan's new supernatural abilities--as well as his level-0 status--don't know what makes him so remarkable, and they're intent on keeping a close eye on him until they can figure it out. When a legal loophole stipulates that Ryan must attend Sabium, an academy for the most elite of Exotics across the galaxies, he's able to escape the Marshals' torturous clutches. Now, as he races to stay one step ahead of the law, he must flex his crafting prowess to develop stronger and sturdier machinations capable of defeating not just the otherworldly foes that stand in his way but also his fellow Exotics intent on his capture. However, Ryan will need more than a defensive line of turrets to retain his freedom, as it seems the Marshals' tendrils extend even across the galaxy. Backed into a corner, Ryan has nowhere left to hide. As betrayal plots brew in the background, he'll have to charm, sneak, and even fight his way into his enemies' inner circle--or risk igniting an explosive war capable of spanning the multiverse . . . The third volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series--with more than 950,000 views on Royal Road--now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

Author Information

J. Drude is the author of the Turret Mage series, originally released on Royal Road. In addition to writer, he has at various times undertaken the roles of cook, computer jockey, soldier, and professional tabletop game master--yes, that last one's a real job; no, it doesn't pay well--but his most challenging and rewarding position to date has been that of a husband and father. J. Drude lives in Texas with his wife, two children, and a menagerie of creatures (only some of which are actually domesticated and at least one of which is most certainly plotting his death).
