Nikki Frasier has trust issues, stemming from an incident on her last deployment. As a result, she isolates herself, preferring to be alone or in the company of three close friends who share her love for fantasy as a way to escape the everyday grind. On Saturday night, her friends join Nikki-as they do every week-to play their favorite quest game. But this time, the unexpected happens. They find themselves on a real quest in a strange land. The stakes are high, the hazards are real, and so are the four guys they're paired with on the quest. And from the moment the quest begins, they are all in mortal peril. Nikki is forced to trust her fellow questers with her life, creating conflicts with her resolve to never trust anyone again. And on top of that, she finds herself attracted to Justin, one of the four guys on the quest. Will Nikki be able to overcome her trust issues before she or one of her friends gets killed? And if she does pursue a relationship with Justin, what will happen when the quest is over and everyone returns home? Award-winning author W. B. Speir weaves a swashbuckling tale of danger, spicy romance, and high adventure.
