Unlikely hero Victor discovers the realm of Fanwath is even deadlier beneath the surface in the rollicking sequel to action-adventure fantasy Pit Fighter.

Suddenly transported to the land of Fanwath, Victor had a hard time adapting to a reality controlled by an omniscient “System” that rewarded strength, skill, and savagery with increased “Energy,” which was necessary if one wished to continue breathing. Then, after some truly surprising success as a gladiator-slave, the teenager ended up doomed to a life in the brutal mines along with a menagerie of fantastical beings possessing even worse luck than him.

But everything changes when Victor finds a way out—or rather, down. With the aid of a magical portal, he soon finds himself in a fabled subterranean dungeon-labyrinth, where his wits and combat prowess are the only things keeping him alive. OK, so he’s found a companion in the strangely alluring and witty Shadeni warrior-woman Thayla as well as an amulet housing a guiding spirit named Gorz. But even they won’t be able to help him now.

Because there are things lurking in the depths more deadly than Victor can possibly imagine. And if he ever does manage to escape the darkness, some very powerful—and vengeful—nobles will do anything to send him back underground. About six feet underground, to be precise . . .

Plum Parrot

Plum Parrot, the pen name of Miles Gallup, was raised amidst the sun-drenched expanses of Southern Arizona, where the vast Sonoran Desert shaped his childhood. There, with a big imagination and a love for adventure, he spent his days crafting worlds of his own, hunting imaginary monsters and constructing forts in the wild terrain. These early experiences laid the foundation for the storytelling that would define his literary voice.

After studying creative writing at the University of Arizona, Plum took a detour into teaching, guiding young minds to discover the magic in books. But even as he imparted the art of writing to middle schoolers, his own creative spark never dimmed. Whether he was out on long walks with his Airedale terrier or diving into epic Dungeons & Dragons campaigns with friends and family, the pull of writing remained a constant companion.

Plum Parrot's work reflects his deep connection to the desert landscape that shaped him, weaving together threads of adventure, fantasy, and a touch of nostalgia. His writing often explores the collision of the fantastical with the ordinary, inviting readers into worlds where imagination knows no bounds. Much like the desert itself, his stories are rich with depth and mystery, offering both beauty and danger in equal measure.

Through his unique blend of creativity and a penchant for detail, Plum Parrot brings readers into an ever-expanding universe of engaging tales. When he's not exploring the worlds within his own mind, he's at home, creating new stories for readers to discover, or perhaps rolling the dice on the next great D&D adventure.
