The Outcast's Reckoning

The game is over. The house is still collecting.

Two months after the boats brought the survivors home, every record of the game has been erased. The players are scattered - flinching at sounds that arrive a half-second late, reaching for weapons that aren't there, telling no one. Who would believe them?

Heather believes. She's spent a month pulling one name out of a maze of shell companies: Augustus Sterling. One of the most powerful men in the world. The money above the boardroom. The machinery behind the game.

And the machinery isn't finished with any of them.

Jason Reeves walked out of the simulation with a companion made of living light, a blade of glass, and a power the real world was never built to hold. Now he's crossing a country that thinks none of it happened, hunting the man who set the odds - while something built for the game wakes up on a Boston street in broad daylight.

The house rigged the board once, and Jason broke it.

This time, the house is playing for keeps.

The Outcast's Reckoning is book two of The Outcast Saga, a LitRPG survival thriller where the stats are real, the stakes are lethal, and the man who rigged the game has plans for more than the players. Book three, The Outcast's Absolution, concludes the trilogy on March 2, 2027.
