About this audiobook
The virtual world of Barliona is a place of rest and entertainment-but not for everyone. It has become a survival arena for Daniel Mahan after he was sentenced to eight years in its virtual jail. Mahan has been through it all: the back-breaking work in the mines, betrayal by other prisoners, and finally, the retrial which has released him into Barliona's common world. What more could one want? Mahan could have kept a low profile and enjoyed relative freedom while serving the rest of his time. But being a Shaman, he can't help himself. Soon he's a clan leader, taking fifty of the continent's top players to claim the secrets of the Dark Forest.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5LOVED this one, for a moment I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but man that was great!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Unlike many series that the excitement slowly dies off as the series continues this series just seems to get stronger with each new volume, I'm so happy that I've discovered LitRPG and this groundbreaking series.
