The Series Begins...
Into the BeanStalk
Jack is a techie and long-time shut-in, driven to save her father from corporate servitude. That means getting her hands on scrip, and lots of it. Going into debt with the most violent bikers in Hope Megacity will get her the cybernetic limbs she needs to overcome her disabilities, but that’s only the beginning.

This is the best high fantasy, game-lit book I’ve ever read, and I've read plenty.
Dice Lords is a compelling fusion of fantasy and gaming, offering a fresh take on the high fantasy genre that challenges and entertains."
