Description
- A fantasy adventure novel that sees its female protagonist trapped inside her favourite childhood video game, Ultimate Adventure VII.
- Remy and other imprisoned players must work together to escape, and whilst doing so discover a sinister plot that will threaten reality as they know it.
- Perfect for gaming enthusiasts, as well as readers of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Remy Winters has hit rock bottom: unemployed and living back home with her dysfunctional family. However, when she decides to immerse herself in the remake of her favourite childhood video game, the fantasy RPG Ultimate Adventure VII, she’s granted a great deal more escapism than she bargained for.
Finding herself trapped inside the game’s world, fantasy quickly spirals into a nightmare and she soon learns the game has some serious life – and death – consequences.
Remy must assemble a party of real-world players and in-game companions to battle against walking corpses, hordes of monsters and, worst of all, the game’s primary antagonist – The Dread Knight Grimoirh. If Remy wants to avoid a permanent Game Over, she’ll have to find three all-powerful crystal shards before Grimoirh does (sounds simple) and figure out a way home (bit harder) without breaking reality (she’s doomed).
Who said video games never hurt anyone?
