Living in a quirky bookshop is a dream come true—he just didn’t expect it to be so damn dangerous.

Ravenna is free. The army outside the settlement isn't going anywhere. And Fate's Dungeon just opened a door neither of them planned to walk through.

And somewhere between the threat outside and the settlement that needs defending, Fate intervenes—pulling Gabriel and Ravenna into a dungeon neither of them chose. Inside: sidequests. Lions. Hucows.

It was full dark when I snuck out of the castle to meet you. You wore those ripped black jeans and your new friend’s boots, with sleet from the forest still in the grooves.
