***Book 1 is available now on amazon!***   “Raise your blade.  Take up the mantle of Slayer.”  Adam’s life was anything but easy.  With people at both school and home eager to make his life a living hell, the only place that he felt right was in the virtual world. At least there he had some  control.  When the newest VRMMORPG title gets announced, Adam and his best friend Max are more than ready to dive in.  Launch day arrives quickly, and Adam is plunged into a world that’s more immersive than anything he’s experienced before.  Although the game offers a bevy of character choices, Adam quickly chooses the title of Slayer, a class that specializes in taking out stronger, more difficult opponents.  Adam begins his adventure, but its not long before he realizes that there’s much more at stake when taking a life in this new game.  The pain is very real and death… is permanent.   Now, trapped in a virtual world, Adam must take the name Zander Darkblade and brave the dangers of the Aether Gate.  It is a world of mighty creatures and fallen gods, and of secrets that have laid hidden for far too long... Welcome to Aether Gate Online.
