Some people just knew how to go out in style. Tim had never been one of those guys. Tim was always a planner. The plan was to get into college, graduate, and find a well-paying job. That plan was coming together nicely until he saw a presentation to get paid to play The Etheric Coast. At his graduation ceremony. After watching the company's employee recruitment video, Big Richie's words had a whole new meaning. He could spend his life going from a cubicle at work to a one-bedroom apartment and back again...or enter a virtual world of unlimited possibilities.

The Blue Dagger Society saved the city of Tristholm from Vitaria's minions and defeated the evil under the mountain. Keeping the Etheric Coast free of Vitaria's influence was going to take more aggressive measures than pounding a hammer into some steel. It was time to throw down with a goddess. Knowing they had their own goddess standing right behind them made Tim feel more optimistic about their chances. Eternia's influence was growing with each one of their victories. With the Goddess of Light standing behind them, how could they lose?

Tim's plan didn't include going toe to toe with one of the most powerful men in Promethia, but he had, and he won. Wasn't winning supposed to make things easier? Instead of getting to live on easy street, Tim's victory only increased his reputation as a man who could solve problems. This time those problems had teeth. Thankfully Tim hit level 10, and once he settled on his upgraded class their newest adventure could began in earnest.

Does the Blue Dagger Society really want to go into this line of work? Their next quest would be decided over a heaping double stack of Joe's famous buttermilk pancakes. Doesn't everything work better with pancakes? King Rasmus has something Eternia needs. The Blue Dagger Society needs the experience. It was settled. They were about to embark on another epic adventure.

Eternia was almost back to full strength, but the Duke was making her move to take over the kingdom for the Dark Goddess Vitaria. Now the Blue Dagger Society would have to fight on two fronts. They had to secure the kingdom before taking the fight to Vitaria.

If there was one thing most smugglers like more than drinking and making credits, it's vacation. That's as long as the drinks are flowing and it’s cheaper than a night in the clink. After the events on Serenity Station, Drake knew they needed to stay off the radar. That meant taking any job that put them in the spotlight was off the table. But hey, any work was better than no work. It kept the Talon in the air and all of them free. Six months later it was time to relax until one call sent everything spinning back out of control. Nothing can rock your galaxy like family, and running back ...

Vampires had been extinct for thousands of years, or so we thought. Captain Drake was the kind of smuggler that would take any job that needed to be done. That was as long as you had the credits and didn’t mess with his crew. Now one of those very crew members had been taken, and Drake would stop at nothing to find her.

Manche Menschen wussten einfach, wie man stilvoll abtritt. Tim gehörte nie zu diesen Menschen. Tim war immer ein Planer. Sein Plan war es, aufs College zu gehen, seinen Abschluss zu machen und einen gut bezahlten Job zu finden. Dieser Plan ging gut auf, bis er eine Präsentation sah, bei der er dafür bezahlt werden würde, das neueste immersive Rollenspiel ›The Etheric Coast‹ zu spielen. Bei seiner Abschlussfeier. Nachdem er das Rekrutierungsvideo des Unternehmens gesehen hatte, bekamen die Worte von Big Richie eine ganz neue Bedeutung.

Zoey wasn't a witch. Witches were vile evil things that used their magic to manipulate and control. Her magic was something different, it came from the earth she was charged with protecting. If that meant killing a few witches, then so be it. Jinx loved being a witch. Being magical made life easier in so many ways. Unless, of course, your mom wanted you to become the head of the coven. Then magic also came with the weight of responsibility. When their two worlds come crashing together, their lives will change forever.
