Meet Your Maker

From the imaginations of Seth McDuffee, author of the bestselling Big Sneaky Barbarian books, and award-winning screenwriter and audiobook narrator Johnathan McClain comes a new series that answers the question . . . "What would happen if you crossed the high fantasy of Wheel of Time with the irreverent comedy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?" Bruce Silver is the author of the Riftbreaker novels, one of the most popular, beloved fantasy book series of all time. He's got everything he's ever dreamed of having: freedom to tell the stories he wants to tell, legions of enthusiastic fans who wait eagerly to see what he'll write next, and a really nice car. But despite all that, Bruce finds himself dissatisfied, battling an ennui he can't quite put his finger on. So he decides to do what anyone would do in his situation: burn it all down by unexpectedly killing off Carpathian Einzgear, Riftbreaker's cherished hero. A solid plan with absolutely no downside whatsoever. Until . . . Bruce wakes up to find himself suddenly transported inside the world of the novels he's written. And . . . seen by everyone he encounters as Carpathian Einzgear himself. Which is problematic for a variety of reasons, not least of which being that, when Carpathian died, he left behind a sea of destruction, broken promises, and shattered lives that Bruce is now responsible for repairing-only, without access to all the powers and skills Carpathian built up through the course of ten books. Bruce is going to have to start over at the beginning. Meet Your Maker is a comedic, epic fantasy series that asks the questions: What is fiction? What is reality? And does it make a difference, when everyone and everything is trying to kill you? Bruce created this world. Now he has to survive it.

From the imaginations of Seth McDuffee, author of the bestselling Big Sneaky Barbarian books, and award-winning screenwriter and audiobook narrator Johnathan McClain comes the second volume of this meta LitRPG to answer the oft-considered question . . . "What would it look like if Brandon Sanderson had written The Princess Bride?" Bruce Silver thought he'd written the ending to his series. But the story disagreed. Still trapped inside the fantasy he believes he created, Bruce has survived monsters, magical systems, and the awkwardness of being mistaken for Carpathian Einzgear, the dead hero he killed off. But as Bruce begins to repair the damage Carpathian left behind, he'll discover something worse than a corrupted plotline: a world he can no longer control. The System is glitching. And there may be more to his story than Bruce realizes. Meanwhile, the group of soul-bonded allies he never meant to abandon-his Heart Guard-is beginning to come undone. Now, Bruce must confront the cost of every word he wrote . . . and all the ones he didn't. Because the enemies rising against him aren't just monsters or cults or angry wizards. They're consequences. Meet Your Maker Volume 2 is the continuation of a series that blends epic fantasy, absurdist comedy, and metafictional mayhem in a story about authorship, accountability, and the people who keep believing in you even when you stop believing in yourself.
