Army of the Unworthy

True Calling LitRPG, Book 4

De: Thad Ward

Narrado por: Alexander Blake

“They call me many things: dragonslayer, relic tamer, savior of kings, and herald of woe. I am the Unsung Sage who dwells in the highest tower, speaker of Source, and champion of the Hidden Well. And I..."

Clay is out of commission. Zack is missing. Tat gets sicker by the day. To the west, an army of demons gathers under Warren’s banner. Before Ike can deal with any of it, he must travel north to Garran Mor, a city of elves, fairies, and beast folk beneath the canopy of the great Ard Tree. The clock is ticking to find the last Sage Key, but the locals are less than welcoming. Can Ike convince them he isn’t a villain, despite the sacred blood of a Tuatha staining his hands? Can he even convince himself?

Doubt plagues Ike every step of the way. The voice of the gauntlet returns, promising victory if he submits. A new prophecy foretells a bleak and lonesome end. Ike’s friends are keeping secrets from him, even as he keeps secrets of his own. Is this how it all ends? Even if he succeeds, resetting the game will kill him. Is he doomed to die alone?

The army approaches. The conclusive battle awaits. Ike will need more than cunning to prevail. He will need to answer the ultimate question: who is he, and what is he willing to sacrifice in order to win?

Fantastic end!

Nerds doing nerd stuff in a very heroic and self sacrificing way. The real life struggles lay bare the soul of the characters we all love, giving them depth and a reason to lose themselves in True Calling.
