If you haven't read Tower of Gates yet, now's the time to grab it! Trapped in an RPG...or a Virtual Prison? When Eric and friends secretly log onto the new Tower of Gates fully immersive virtual reality MMORPG against his father's wishes, they spawn separately throughout the game. Eric finds Sarah easily enough, but they can't find Josh, their remaining party member. Unable to escape or even pause the game, Eric and Sarah work together to find Josh. They meet a colorful cast of characters along the way, including a priest named Benji. Unsure what happens when you die, they vow to be careful with who they trust. While Benji and others they meet seem harmless enough, a strange mage in black vows to kill them. Can they stay alive and complete the first few levels of the Tower of Gates? Or will they suffer the fate of others who have died inside the game? https://amzn.to/3pMlIHQ
