Publisher Description

After the loss of Bastion, everyone who’s not a zombie has holed up in FFO’s sole remaining safe haven: the lowbie town of Windy Lake.

But the undead armies never rest, and it’s only a matter of time before the Once King’s forces come to crush what’s left of life in this world.

To make things worse, Tina, James, and the rest of the players are facing a crisis of their own.

After so long in this world, their human bodies are dying on the other side.

If they don’t find a way home soon, they may have nothing to go back to.

With time running out in two worlds, Tina and James face a horrible choice: do they spend their final days looking for a way to get back to their old bodies, or join the NPCs to fight for their new ones.

But just when things look impossible, James learns a secret that might change everything.

Only one catch: to pull it off, they’re going to have to fight one raid boss no one, not even Tina, has ever beaten.

The Once King.
