Double-Blind 2Gilded Tower

Double-Blind #2 / 3
by J. McCoy
Double-Blind 2: Gilded Tower (Double-Blind #2) by J. McCoy
Unrated

Corruption. Power struggle. Malevolent deities.

All this is topped off by a mysterious golden tower that appeared overnight, drawing adventurers from far and wide.

Still recovering from the events of Transposition and struggling with his nature, Matt sets out to rescue his best friend from the clutches of the mysterious organization that kidnapped him.

He’ll need every trick in the Rogue’s playbook to stay ahead of the game, using infiltration, cunning, and his unique Ordinator ability to outthink and outmaneuver stronger and better-connected foes.

With both new players and the remaining fragments of government in pursuit, playing both sides comes with the territory, and leaning into his alternate identity’s villainous image will be key.

Of course, there’s the obvious question: How long can you play the villain before you become one?

J. McCoy

J. McCoy, who also writes under the name Eligos, crafts stories where logic, emotion, and consequence intertwine. Known for the RE: Monarch and Double-Blind series, McCoy’s fiction lives at the intersection of speculative fantasy and LitRPG, creating worlds that feel alive because their rules matter and every decision changes the outcome.

McCoy’s path to writing began much like their stories, through curiosity, systems, and a fascination with “what if.” Long before publishing A Prince Out of Time, the first book in the RE: Monarch series, McCoy built imaginary worlds inside online games and text-based adventures, experimenting with how structure shapes storytelling. That early love of player-driven narratives grew into full novels where strategy meets emotion and power always carries a cost.

In RE: Monarch, time itself becomes unstable ground, twisting around loyalty, legacy, and the hunger for control. The Double-Blind series dives into post-apocalyptic survival and psychological tension, asking what happens when reality becomes a game you can’t escape. Across both works, McCoy explores themes of identity, consequence, and the fragile border between human instinct and system logic.

Readers often describe McCoy’s style as immersive and precise, a balance of tight pacing and deep introspection. The stories invite readers not just to watch a world unfold but to play inside its rules. On platforms like Goodreads and Audible, McCoy’s books have earned strong reviews for their intricate world-building and emotional weight, resonating with fans who crave more than surface-level adventure.

Away from the keyboard, McCoy continues to design worlds long before they reach the page, sketching mechanics, histories, and the hidden corners of imaginary realms. Whether writing as J. McCoy or Eligos, the author remains dedicated to exploring the tension between control and chaos, crafting stories that challenge both character and reader to decide what kind of hero they want to become.
