Monster Problems

Danielle Boone thought she was signing up to test an experimental fantasy game. Instead, she wakes up inside one—with nothing but a magical spoon, a cursed water farm, and a dangerously literal pun‑magic that can turn monsters into five‑star entrées.

Cargo pilot Rook Vanner has one rule that matters: no passengers. Then an absurdly lucrative contract puts a Nordic diplomat, a towering Draconic warrior, a mysterious Grey, an elegant Tall White, a brilliant Mantid, and a dream-walking Pleiadian aboard his debt-ridden freighter.

It was a Goldwing, after all, who saved her life on that terrible day her parents were killed.
