Description
A MONSTER WITHOUT A NAME IS A TERRIBLE THING
Mac Eden's role as a side character in an ancient game is to make sure the non-player characters don't find out about the game. Subsequently, when an extraordinary superspecies known only as the Mandolin emerges in Afghanistan, the non-player characters do what they do best: declare war and make a reality TV show.
Eight months of televised war later, and a reality show is the only truth anyone cares about. Frustrated by civilian life, university student Hollow Quinn volunteers to join the British army. Her only friend Ezra Blake justifies the decision not to enlist, taking solace in a gothic anomaly full of magical innovation, mystical intrigue and self-aware furniture. But when Hollow grabs a starring role in the reality show, Ezra makes an impulsive decision. A decision that forces Mac Eden to override her standing orders and instigate a gameplay that will overshadow even the horrors of a paraspecies war in Afghanistan.
And as the game levels up, the non-player characters unlock the terrible secrets of WOLF. A reality show created for war, and designed for public entertainment.
