Dragons. Aliens from afar. They rule over us. And one day, they will harvest each and every one of us. But perhaps our overlords bit off more than they could chew when they created mankind. Certainly this is the case when it comes to Merlin, one of the original Sata made to watch over humanity on behalf of the Dragon Masters. The elusive Merlin spurns the Overlords and fights to prevent our ultimate destruction. But still...the harvest approaches. Will Merlin, brave Cadmus, and the young Recks be able to prevent our day of reckoning? After all, you do not fight a dragon. You run from a dragon, or you kill a dragon, but you never fight a dragon. - by Brooke Dulka

"WOW‼️ What a FANTASTICAL Ride" "This was a solid LitRPG that went in an interesting direction! It was a great story that kept me hooked through the entire book. I liked the contrast between Van and Sang, an ambitious gamer who lives to game, and an aggressive agent who thinks it's a waste of time. They were both likable and their banter cracked me up." Grab Dante Doom's gripping LitRPG series, Dragon Kings of the New World. The Star Dragon, The Black Dragon, and The Iron Dragons are available for the first time as a boxset. The Star Dragon When the real world is threatened, it’s up to the players in a virtual one to save it. Van Vanyushin doesn’t see the point in ever leaving the beautiful digital world of the game he loves—and for good reason. In the industrial wasteland he calls home, it is often the only way people can experience life’s simplest pleasures. But his allegiance to the game is tested when an ambitious CIA agent named Sang Ngo calls upon him to help as she goes undercover in the game to investigate Draco—the corporation responsible for creating the massively popular role-playing game Dragon Kings of the New World. Sang is a gifted hacker who feels nothing but contempt for those who waste their lives in what she sees as a false reality…but when people start dying in the game, she must find out why. Van, a talented gamer, is her guide to navigate the world, level up their newbie characters fast and get into some of the most dangerous areas of the game. He dreams of becoming a pro gamer sponsored by Draco one day, but his partnership with Sang threatens to expose secrets from his past that could jeopardize those plans. The Black Dragon Mysteries abound as a dangerous game becomes deadly… Dedicated gamer Van and his CIA agent partner Sang have successfully infiltrated Dragons Kings of the New World, but the further they go, the more questions arise. They return to find that the in-game kingdom of Silver Peak, which Van once ruled as one of the most powerful players in the game, has now fallen into disrepair. There they recruit a mercenary party of adventurers from among Van’s old comrades and venture to find the hidden realm of Bloodrock—which Van suspects could hold the key to the game’s mysterious origins. The Iron Dragons Can two fugitives beat Draco at its own game? Van and Sang are on the run, forced to log on and play Dragons of the New World from a dank basement hideout with borrowed characters while the world crumbles around them. Sang is losing hope after being fired by the CIA, but Van’s resolve is only growing.
