In the fifth book of this action-packed fantasy series, a young Earthling continues his seemingly endless quest for glory...but to what end?

It feels like a lifetime ago that the irreverent young Victor Sandoval was pulled from Earth into an existence of battle and brutality in a mystifyingly magical world where the more one fights, kills, and survives, the greater their levels, class, skills, and attributes. And right now, things are pretty freaking great for Victor.

After causing the usual amount of mayhem elsewhere, he and his warrior-maiden ally, Valla, have finally taken a portal back to Fanwath—loaded up with more powers and treasure than they know what to do with. But stumbling upon Fainhallow, a school for studying the art of magic, Victor uncovers a revelation that shakes him to his very core.

And such personal chaos couldn't come at a worse time. Because the advances Victor has made are pushing him to the brink of losing all control, awakening hidden aspects of his spirit and threatening to transform him into something very dark and very, very deadly. But then again, on Fanwath the deadlier you are now, the more alive you're bound to be later....

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.

As the story unfolds, themes of redemption, betrayal, and the search for belonging emerge, making every twist and turn a gripping exploration of character and consequence.
