Follow Clyde on his continuing adventures, as he gets back to Glaton—wait, he promised to visit the City of Darkness. Right. City of Darkness and then back to Glaton. Except . . . wait. What's wrong with the small coastal town of Furtaxo? Okay, first Furtaxo. If Clyde can get that mystery figured out, then he can move on to the next quest.

Montana Coggeshall, freshly returned from the high society world of galas, birthrights, and the odd doomsday cult, doesn't have much time to settle back into normal life. He's promised to protect everyone who calls Coggeshall home, and one terrified family is caught in the wrong place at the worst time. But what starts as a simple rescue mission quickly unravels into a web of strange disappearances, secret tunnels, and whispered warnings. A new monster may be stalking the valley. And it’s one that doesn’t just kill—it plays with its food.

"Has your life here been so difficult? You seem to fail upward at every opportunity." So says Careena, the hag teaching Clyde Hatchett how to use magic. It certainly doesn't feel like that to Clyde, who's still got a day job scraping mud (at least he hopes it's mud) out of monster pits. And yet, Clyde's found himself at the center of a massive conspiracy to kill the Emperor. He's the only one with proof that could save the man, and take down an entire network of corrupt nobles, evil slavers, and power-hungry despots.

Montana Coggeshall is feeling the squeeze - and not just because of his new leather pants from the goddess Eona. His little safeholding in the ruthless world of Vuldranni is under siege. On both sides. At the front is Lord Caticorix, a grade-A Imperial flunkey if there ever was one. He's clearly ridiculous, but the army he brought with him might not be. Plus they're bent on blocking Coggeshall from getting any food or supplies from the outside world.  

He's tried to ignore them for too long. But the long-simmering conflict between Montana's holding at Coggeshall and the Night Goblins who also occupy the valley is about to boil over. Usually, goblins aren't anything to write home about: an enemy without much size, intellect, or weaponry. But these goblins? Well, that's just not the case. These are goblins with limitless resources, never-before-seen tactics, and horrifying monsters at their disposal. Worst of all, they don't fear death in the slightest. They just might force a good guy to become what he has always struggled to defeat.

Ginger Mitchell accomplished the impossible; the former call girl and now sort-of private investigator got into all of this to bring her mother’s killer to justice. But Darlene is still on the loose. It was bad enough when the woman was manipulating Ginger from afar, but now Darlene is in Portland wreaking up-close-and-personal havoc under the assumed identity of Isabelle Dunkirk.

So, remember that whole 'send Montana to the capital—he's ready for prime time' plan? Yeah. That might've been a little bit hasty. Our hirsute hero really stepped in it. Like, is on the verge of losing his dukedom and everything he's worked for stepped in it. The only way out? A little-known technicality that stops Senate proceedings and sends Montana off on what's most likely an insurmountable quest. One where odds are good that he'll either die without a respawn or accidentally commit treason against the Empire.

Clyde Hatchett, Glaton's prodigal son, is finally home. Sure, he's got a whole new body and face, so nobody recognizes him. And technically he's not from Glaton—he's really only spent a few months there. But they say home is wherever your love resides, and since Nadya lives in Glaton . . . wait, does Clyde actually love Nadya? This is getting complicated. That, on top of all the problems Clyde left behind, which haven't gotten any less knotty while he was gone. The Senate is heating up, with numerous noble idiots vying for the throne. 

No one is more shocked than Ginger Mitchell, former call girl, current PI, at how well this whole crime-fighting thing is going. In the short time since she returned home to Portland, she’s taken down an entire crime ring and exposed a corrupt police department. Not bad for her first year on the job. But it’s not like all that success made Ginger’s life easier. Hired hit men are after her. Darlene, the boss who killed her mother, is still at large. Ginger’s brother is missing.

Straight out of the West (or, you know, somewhere through a gloom portal), in a thunder of hooves (but they're kinda like giant turtle hooves, if you can picture it?), comes Montana Coggeshall, gun (sword) slinger. Sure, he's survived Fiends' Night and an all-out goblin war. But for his people in Coggeshall to truly be safe, Montana needs to go out and find the source of all these crazy attacks.

We join Montana, recently returned from an impromptu study abroad trip, a bit wiser, a bit broader in perspective, and a lot freaked out by the once-dead person who's currently in his bedroom. Possible zombie sightings aside, he's finally ready to take his job as Duke seriously. And just in time too - not only are the politics of the capital rapidly closing in on Montana's little valley holding, but there are also goblins to negotiate with. Plus, that cult threatening to take the lives of his citizens. 

Clyde Hatchett's latest adventure finds him wrongfully imprisoned, accused of striking the princess herself. With a death sentence hanging over him and time running out, Clyde's only hope lies in completing a series of impossible quests. Because in Glaton, being innocent isn't enough to save your neck-especially when you owe people favors.

Del Roosevelt, Champion of the Midden. The first creature smart enough, strong enough, fast enough to advance in who knows how long, immediately finds himself in jail. Well, technically, it's a dungeon, but he's spent enough time putting people behind bars to recognize when he ends up there, too. Now, our little furry force needs to work the system and escape to Ratopolis with the one ally he has left.

Es stellt sich heraus, dass ein Kerkeraufenthalt den eigenen Plänen gehörig einen Strich durch die Rechnung machen kann. In seinem neuesten Abenteuer wird Clyde Hatchett zu Unrecht inhaftiert und beschuldigt, die Prinzessin selbst geschlagen zu haben. Da er zum Tode verurteilt ist und ihm die Zeit davonläuft, liegt Clydes einzige Hoffnung darin, eine Reihe von unmöglichen Aufgaben zu erfüllen. Denn in Glaton reicht es nicht aus, unschuldig zu sein, um deinen Hals zu retten – vor allem nicht, wenn du anderen einen Gefallen schuldest.

Ein ruiniertes Leben. Ein gebrochenes Herz. Er dachte, es sei das Ende, und seine Waffe war bereit, um dies sicherzustellen. Aber ein merkwürdiges Angebot seines einzigen Freundes kommt in buchstäblich letzter Sekunde. Die Neugier holt ihn ein, und er findet sich in iNcarn8 wieder, ein Spiel, das behauptet, ein ganz neues Leben zu sein. Als Montana, der überlebensgroße Krieger, hat er nun noch ein letztes Mal Gelegenheit, sein Leben in Ordnung zu bringen.

Gestern noch war Ben ein Kleinkrimineller, der die New Yorker Oberschicht ausgenommen hat. Heute hat er ein neues Gesicht, einen neuen Namen und eine neue Welt, in der er sich zurechtfinden muss. Und Ben denkt, dass er dieses Mal vielleicht seine Fähigkeiten zur Entwaffnung und Täuschung nutzen kann, um anderen Menschen zu helfen. Vielleicht. Einem mittelalterlichen Stadtwächter dabei zuzusehen, wie er einen zehn Meter großen empfindungsfähigen Schleimbrocken abwehrt, der aus der Kanalisation hochgekrochen ist, bringt einen dazu, seine Lebensentscheidungen zweimal zu überdenken.

Wie üblich ist Montana Coggeshall wild entschlossen, das Richtige zu tun, auch wenn das Richtige nicht gerade das Klügste ist. Also macht er sich auf den Weg, um die verderbten Ursus zu besiegen, eine Bedrohung, die so groß ist, dass sie die gesamte Welt von iNcarn8 zerstören könnte. Macht sich Montana auf den Weg, nachdem er monatelang für die kalten Wetterbedingungen trainiert, eine Armee zusammengestellt und mit seinen besten Helfern Strategien besprochen hat? Nicht wirklich.

Was tust du, wenn sich das Spiel um dich herum zurücksetzt? Gerade als Montana dachte, er hätte das Leben in Vuldranni durchschaut, wird ihm der Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen. Er ist wieder einmal allein, aber jetzt ist er im Fadenkreuz des Mannes, der Kaiser werden will, und eine ganze Reihe von Menschen zählt auf Montana, um für sie einen sicheren Hafen zu schaffen. Montana hat nur eine Möglichkeit, sein Ziel, ein Herzogtum zu gründen, tatsächlich zu erreichen: Er muss Nikolai aus dem Gefängnis befreien. Einem Gefängnis, aus dem noch nie jemand lebend entkommen ist.

Clyde Hatchett: der letzte Überlebende. Nun, er ist der letzte überlebende Elf. Es ist verwirrend, kein Mensch mehr zu sein. Aber das einzige lebende Mitglied der Keksgewerkschaft zu sein, hat seine Vorteile. Zum Beispiel muss er keine Schichten beim Keksebacken übernehmen. Niemand sagt Clyde, was er zu tun hat. Keiner... Die Keksgewerkschaft hat dir eine QUEST angeboten: Die Gilde wieder aufbauen Baue die Gilde wieder auf, indem du bis zum Ablauf von einer (1) Woche mindestens acht (8) Mitglieder in gutem Ansehen hast.
