Publisher's Summary

Book 1 of the best-selling epic LitRPG series The Realms.

A betrayed spy turned noob hero.

Betrayed by those closest to him, Finn Caldwell thought he’d escaped his life of violence and deception. But when a frantic message from his estranged sister draws him into The Realms, the world’s most advanced holographic reality game, Finn is forced to embrace his deadly skills once more.

Armed with a mysterious artifact known as a Godhead, Finn becomes the warrior-mage Gryph. Yet, things are not as they seem and to save his sister, he must escape a sentient dungeon by defeating its master, the Barrow King.

The Realms will take you back to the days when Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and The Elder Scrolls were new. Feel the nostalgia!

Brilliant, captivating and awesome narration

The first book in this series captures your attention and it only drags you deeper through the rest of the series. Great humour, narration and storyline. Can't wait for the next title in the series.

Hopefully it gets bettter

I found it okay for a first book, a bit on the windy side of things, seems to take a while to get through things, hopefully it gets better on the second book.
