In this second volume of The Wandering Inn, Book One of the massive epic fantasy world that has become a LitRPG sensation, new characters take center stage as the Innverse expands beyond Erin Solstice's inn. Even as Erin finds companions out of goblins, necromancers, drakes, and gnolls, Ryoka Griffin wants no part in making friends. She just wants to run. Luckily, there's a guild that allows her to do just that, and Ryoka soon finds herself delivering messages and packages across the city. But she's an oddity to the other runners, and not just because she doesn't wear shoes. No, there's something about her that just doesn't fit in…and it's probably the fact that she's from the real world, and not the fantasy one she's been sucked into. Like Erin, she has found herself pulled into a fantasy realm she doesn't understand. And like Erin, she wants to learn more…but wants to do it her own way. Yet even she is learning she can't do everything alone, and after a dangerous delivery introduces her to the adventuring group The Horns of Hammerad-and other deliveries bring her into the scope of a powerful Lady and a mysterious magic-user-her new world will never be the same. Darkness is growing in the Innverse, with new players and monsters being added to the chessboard, and both Erin and Ryoka are finding out that as amazing magic can be, it's also incredibly deadly.
