Tortured, framed for murder, and hunted by a kingdom. For Daren Morin, it's a familiar taste of betrayal. His enemies think he’s cornered. They're about to learn how wrong they are. His only path to untouchable status lies within a mysterious, labyrinthine artifact—the stage for a deadly, kingdom-wide tournament.

As a professional thief, Esme Bellerose's daylong job interview was going well: She'd come through most of it with only a black eye, bloody lip, broken wrist, a few cracked ribs, and talon marks from a ruby-throated dragon - but at least she wasn't missing any pieces. And if she could only survive until the five o'clock hour, she'd land the job that was every mystic thief's dream: employment at SPL Inc. But the head of SPL, Elric Ostergaard, has other plans, and he's put one additional task on Esme's job application, which must be completed before he'll hire her.

A failed escape dumps Daren Morin on a distant continent—with a parasite burrowing into his mind. The Mind Serpent coiled around his Mana Portal has one goal: devour his consciousness and wear his body like a suit. Most mages would panic. Daren sees an opportunity. Stranded without allies, hunted by forces that span kingdoms, and fighting a war inside his own skull, Daren has been in worse situations. Probably. The difference is, this time his enemies don't know who they're dealing with—or what's already living inside him.

For two centuries, Daren Morin was one of the most powerful mages in existence, a master of forbidden magic and feared across the realm. But betrayal ended everything. Now, he wakes up...eighteen years old. Again. Stripped of power. Trapped in a ruthless magic academy. Mocked by classmates who call him "Moron." This time, he's weaker. This time, they think he's no threat. This time, they're dead wrong.

What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.

Only two floors are left to clear until Jake and the girls reach the dungeon's exit, where the teleporter that leads back to the surface awaits them. A promise from a monstrous rival urges them to delve deeper, but is she just after a rematch, or is there something more at stake? On the other hand, now that they've joined forces with arguably the greatest diver of their generation, the rest of the dungeon should be a cakewalk.

Cuando rescatan a la Subteniente Azumagus Honor Renn de entre los restos de su primer puesto naval, solo espera la muerte o la desgracia. Sin embargo, se despierta a bordo de la Piedra Angular, una embarcación legendaria de la que se habla en las baladas portuarias y en las salas de guerra reales por igual.
