Damon Silver: A Novel

Damon is your average three-fingered VR streamer: he wants to slay virtual baddies, get oodles of views, and earn enough quid to cover rent. Unfortunately, playing Draichot Online gets a lot more complicated when a monster from the game shows up in his London flat and tries to kill him for real.

Damon is saved by his loyal dog Petunia (who can talk now?) and a gnome named Simon (a guardian gnome, not a garden gnome, thank you very much) and is thrust into a mad world where magic and fairies and Magic Fairy Queens are all real, and they can all kill you–in or out of the game. And one of the Queens is gunning for Damon.

Luckily, he’s got friends who can help him out: the girl he loves, her girlfriend, his dog, a gnome, and a mysterious American wizard from Appalachia. If they’re lucky, brave, and clever, they might find a way to survive the very real fairy war that is occurring in Draichot Online, thwart the Queen of All That Bleeds and her murderous henchfairies, and save the day.

But if they lose, the war in Draichot Online might very well spill out onto the streets of London…
