"Is it funny? No. It's absolutely hilarious!"Matt Dinniman, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

Sorry... Really? Thrust? Anyway, Danny Kendrick is a down-on-his luck performer who always struggled to find his place. He certainly never wanted to be a hero. He just hoped to earn a living, doing what he loved.

That all changes when he pisses off the wrong guy and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a renaissance fair.

Getting used to a new world is tough. Especially when surrounded by ax-wielding barbarians, stunning elf assassins, strange magic, and a System AI that seems as interested in causing trouble as helping. Or maybe it just isn't interested in being assigned yet another new companion.

Danny must adapt fast, turn on the charm, and learn to embrace his given Class if he hopes to master it and survive this dangerous new place.

But he has a knack for finding trouble. After making a questionable deal with a hag, Danny is gifted what appears to be an innocent, ancient lute. But now he has become the target of mysterious factions who seek to claim its power.

It's up to him, Screenie, and his new barbaric friend, Curr, to uncover the truth and become the heroes nobody knew they needed. And maybe, just maybe, Danny will finally find a place where he belongs. Perhaps, even thrive.

Jump into this hilarious LitRPG Adventure, by #1 NYT Bestselling duo Rhett C Bruno & Jaime Castle, in which a struggling musician gets isekai'd into a dangerous fantasy world where picking up an ancient lute unlocks magical reality-bending powers.

Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Off to be the Wizard, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves, and Kings of the Wyld!
