Publisher's summary

Devon Walker has one chance to turn her life around. A half-wit ogre, a legion of overgrown jungle beasts, and a power-tripping AI are trying to stop her.

Relic Online is the hottest new game out there, and it's Devon Walker's best hope for escaping her hard-knock life. Thanks to her rocking achievements in other games, she's been hired as a salaried player. Even better, her new position comes with cutting-edge implants that turn RO's virtual reality into a full-sensory explosion. Her only task? Drive the game's creator AI to the outermost limits of its creativity.

Sounds easy, right?

But when Devon logs in, her expectations shatter like an ice golem hit with a sonic blast. Wearing nothing but a cloth tunic and ragged pants, she spawns inside a ruined city overgrown by steamy jungle. With zero skills and nothing in her inventory but pocket lint, she immediately runs afoul of the city's guardian, a stone golem the size of an apartment building. The encounter does not go well.

And Relic Online is just getting started with her.

Soundbooth Theater brings you another instant GameLit classic, narrated by Annie Ellicott. Paired with our troupe's vocal chameleon, Annie delivers yet another wonderful performance that brings Carrie Summers's world of Relic Online to life and will keep you hooked into this story filled with fast-paced action and methodically crunchy crafting and town building.

Aleron caliber

I’m sure authors hate to be compared to others but not since Dr. Kong’s The Land have I found LitRPG I liked as well as the ToS. The action is solid, the main character is likable and there are all the main races that make a fantasy novel fun.. that’s probably the main aspect of this book I enjoyed, it was fun. I can’t wait for the next in the series!

GREAT BOOK!!!!!

Women authors need to be promoted more. I love this genre, but am sick of the harems. Not in this book. Fantastically developed characters, great plot, great game mechanics, and a very well paced story. Annie and Jeff did amazing work, as always.

Temple of Sorrow...loved this!

I could not put it down! More, please!! As a gamer myself and an avid reader putting the 2 together was perfect for me. the audio version allowed me time to 'read' even during my busy schedule.

Good book, great peeformamce

Sound booth as usual is awesome enhancing the book greatly. Story overall was entertaining but short. The only issue is if you are an experienced mmo player the MC is an experienced newb, i.e. played a mmo significantly after launch and was helped by others, this explains away her incorrect ideas and style of play for the most part.

Fun Read

Anyone who has ever enjoyed RPG, book or computer based, will enjoy this story. As a book one, be prepared to be left with many unanswered questions... but that is just fine. Great fun read.

It was a slow start for me but I then started getting into it. The story has intrigued me enough that I believe i will get the 2nd book.

Well written and performed litrpg audiobook

I enjoyed this performance. The voice actors brought the characters to life. I do appreciate that they used different actors for the male characters vs. the female characters.

The stoey itself was well written and had good city building aspects, which I always enjoy.

Highly recommended.

Well done

I personally thought it was great with neat issues coming up that will be revealed later. The system for development is cool with how unique each character is. The characters felt real as well almost too much but man is this good. Voice work was aweome as well!

loved it

I initially saw an ad for this on Facebook and was pretty interested in the concept behind the story. I definitely was not let down. The main character is believable, relatable and what I love most is shes not a pushover. I cant wait to see the next installment in the story to see where things are taken.
