Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

This Inevitable Ruin is the seventh book in Matt Dinniman’s bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series, continuing the fantasy LitRPG adventure as Carl and Princess Donut reach the ninth floor of the dungeon.

They call it Faction Wars.

Nine armies enter, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Their objective is simple: capture and hold the castle at the centre of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, betrayal, and spectacle all make for excellent television.

But this season is different.

For the first time ever, the crawlers have their own army. The NPCs, usually treated as cannon fodder, have become fully self-aware and formed an unprecedented team of their own. As the AI continues to decline, Carl and company use the chaos to fight back in ways the galaxy has never seen before.

This time, the war has real consequences. Any combatant who dies on the battlefield stays dead.

For Donut and Katia, the stakes are even higher. No matter who wins, only one of them will be allowed to leave this level. If they all want to survive, they will need help from a veteran or two.

This is what they have been fighting toward.
