The Ruby Magician 2: A Tower-Climbing LitRPG Adventure

The Ruby Magician, Book 2

By: D. R. Hudgins

Narrated by: Kieran Regan

A mysterious cult stands between a ragtag team and the treasure they seek within a treacherous tower in the second book of this gripping LitRPG fantasy.

Since he started climbing the infamous tower Alistair in search of riches and redemption, Wyn Thatcher has met a colorful cast of characters, among them an overly analytical lightning wizard, a squeamish healer, and a veteran archer punching below her weight, to name just a few. Together, they've fought their way through the first few floors of the treasure-filled tower, finding exciting loot drops, learning powerful skills, and completing the challenging quests that meet them with each new level they ascend to.

When their ex-friend, Lionel, comes back to finish his failed assassination during the team's hardest challenge yet, they're pushed beyond their limits. Since his backstabbing betrayal, Lionel's joined a mysterious cult that promises to be on the cusp of something big—something that will change not only Alistair but all of Alestead forever.

And on top of duking it out with a group of vicious killers, Wyn still needs to pay off his creditors, who are quickly losing their patience with his family's debt. It's only a matter of time before he has a group of bloodthirsty loan sharks knocking down his door. To keep his family safe and defend his beloved city, he'll have to tackle the tower with maximum efficiency and learn new spells capable of defeating the godly powers at play.

But every floor is hiding something sinister within its walls. And should Wyn fail, an army of beastly monstrosities lies in wait, ready to destroy all . . .
