The Tainted Wood - A Gamelit Virtual Fantasy Adventure (Book 3 Unexplored Cycle)

Clint just quit his job and is now officially dating Mary, his longtime gaming partner and real-life friend. With seemingly endless opportunities in the real world opening in front of him, for the first time in a long time, Clint is actually excited about waking up in the morning. His elation only grows when he and his new girlfriend visit a game convention centered around their favorite game.

Things get even better when a game representative offers them a nice sum of money to play Unexplored in front of a live audience. Now is his chance to be a hero in the real world! Everything is looking up!

The same can’t be said for the world of Unexplored. A mysterious magical taint has taken hold of the land and is slowly killing the forest. Cleave, Clint’s alter ego, along with Tarka, the Kobold, and Krug, the half-giant, must stop this plague from spreading and killing the entire forest. Cleave, Tarka, and Krug must face their greatest challenge yet in order to save not only thousands of in-game lives, but the entire world of Unexplored.
