Denton Wade is dying. And Cyberternal Industries has the answer. An answer he isn't willing to accept: life everlasting in a game world of fantasy, swords, and magic. EndWorld Everlasting. A man-made afterlife. It goes against everything he's always believed in. But there might still be hope. And hope is a very dangerous thing.

As the last child in a family of daughters, 17-year-old Janneke was raised to be the male heir. While her sisters were becoming wives and mothers, she was taught to hunt, track, and fight. On the day her village was burned to the ground, Janneke - as the only survivor - was taken captive by the malicious Lydian and eventually sent to work for his nephew Soren. When the Goblin King’s death ignites an ancient hunt for the next king, Soren senses an opportunity for her to finally fully accept the ways of the brutal Permafrost.

Against all odds, Janneke has survived the Hunt for the Stag - but all good things come with a cost. Lydian might be dead, but he took the Stag with him. Janneke now holds the mantle, while Soren, now her equal in every way, has become the new Erlking. Janneke's powers as the new Stag has brought along haunting visions of a world thrown into chaos and the ghost of Lydian taunts her with the riddles he spoke of when he was alive. When Janneke discovers the truth of Lydian and his madness, she's forced to see her tormentor in a different light for the first time.

How do you fight the darkness that grows within? Beware the cost of death. After surviving the call to Duskmorrow Swamp, Denton Wade finds himself burdened with the weight of a dark mark and a broken blade. Sent to the Frostwind Mountains by his Battle Mage mentor, there is but one hope: An Elixir of Souls that can only be crafted after successfully harvesting 20 rare thistles hidden amongst the frigid mountain slopes. In an afterlife world of quests and magic, Denton must make a difficult choice.
