What is this book about?

The apocalypse will be televised!

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.

The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.

Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're…

What is my book about?

Jordon is a Dungeon Master, and he liked to think he was a decent one after a whole year of writing and running his own home-brewed campaign. He just didn’t think he was so good at it that he could actually write a Fallen God into existence that was hellbent on destroying the multiverse. So, when a character from that very campaign shows up on his doorstep, begging for his help in saving her world, it was only responsible for Jordon to step up and save it, right?

With his Outcasts behind him, Jordon descends through the Cadinari Stream and into a world of his own creation, finding that the life of an Adventurer is much more than improv and dice rolls. And Taldora, that world he had only seen in his dreams, was full of more wonders and mystery than even he had imagined.
