Gods and Monsters

A hero and his family fight to survive and reunite in a strange and terrifying new reality in the propulsive second installment of this epic LitRPG series.

A System apocalypse has ripped humanity away from its home planet, Earth-73, firing the starting pistol on a marathon race for survival against beastly odds. And in the violent magical worlds of the System’s “Orientation,” it’s getting harder to tell the monsters from the savage humans.

Mina and her younger sister, Yulia, have been dropped on a frozen wasteland to live with other Earthlings in a remote settlement. But soon people start turning up dead. Their game has begun. It’s kill or be killed. Yet all Mina can wonder is: Where in this horrifying new world is her husband, James?

After leaping into a mysterious abyss to escape a diabolical cult leader, James floats in the void between worlds. As he endures testing by a trickster god, the band of survivors he left behind flees from the cult and into the hunting ground of an even greater threat.

Now James must choose whether to go to the rescue of the group that has come to see him as a leader and protector or rush to his family, who are in a position of unique danger themselves . . .
