One game, seven friends, and a fifty-million dollar grand prize. Eric has been a gamer his entire life. Unfortunately, gaming doesn't pay the bills... until now, that is. Fate Online is an upcoming MMORPG. With an enormous game world, realistic graphics, and a promise of no fetch quests, the game is already poised to be a success. Not content with mere success, the game's developers announced an enormous tournament, to be held a year from now—with a fifty-million dollar grand prize. And Eric and his friends are determined to be the ones to win it. There's just one problem. They know nothing about Fate. No one does. But to win the grand prize, they're going to have to learn fast. Oh, and the minor issue of a horde of bloodthirsty goblins intent on destroying all civilization within Fate. Warning: This book contains mild profanity and the metric system. Read at your own peril.

The winds of war sweep across Novanalba, and everyone must take a side. As the Ironfrost Horde marches south, Tonbura prepares its defenses. Now a militia officer, Eric and his party are on the frontline, fighting tooth and nail to protect the village and its denizens. But words are weapons, and the king plays a dangerous game. Caught between two factions, Eric must make a choice, and soon. For the fate of Novanalba hangs in the balance.
