Publisher's Summary

A side novel set in the same world as the bestselling Ascend Online series that takes place between Ascend Online and Legacy of the Fallen, and follows a different cast of characters.

Sometimes, just being a hero isn't an option. Sometimes, you just need to get the job done.

Lazarus Cain is a member of the Grim Shadows, one of the Thieves Guilds in the city of Eberia. Unfortunately, Lazarus is having a bad day. Waking up in a torture chamber, suffering from amnesia, he'd be pretty much screwed if not for the mysterious, magical sigil burned into his chest.

Sometimes a really bad day should be shared with others, especially professional torturers.

Lazarus will need to use all his cunning and skill to work with his comrades, uncovering schemes within schemes, discovering that The Grim Shadows are not the only Thieves Guild in the city mired in conflict. What's more, the leaders of the other guilds, the Thief Lords, don't respond well to treachery...

This take place between book 1 and 2.

While it was some intriguing back story, this isn't necessary to read to follow the main story! Good book still though! On to the next one!

Top notch story for a LIT RPG

I really enjoyed how the game world in this book series ties in with the real world. discussions about the real world are light because the focus is on the characters game experience, but unlike other lit RPgs, The world presented here has an edge of believability that makes the story all that much more fun.

Better than expected

Not as good as the first, but decent (especially considering it's book 1.5 and a separate story). I'm hooked, despite the dangling participles running rampant.
