What to expect

A second-chance queer romance about two teens whose in-world D&D characters fall in love, but in real life, things are more complicated, perfect for lovers of Ashley Poston and Becky Albertalli.

Harper Reid’s summer is not off to a great start. After the death of her grandpa, she moves across the country, leaving her friends and Dungeons & Dragons group behind.

She wasn’t exactly planning to start her senior year on the farm where she spent her childhood summers, but running into Ollie Shifflet—former best friend and first crush—makes things much better. When Harper discovers Ollie and her friends are starting a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign, she quickly joins the group.

As Harper and Ollie reconnect in the real world, romantic tension begins to build between Harper’s brash barbarian and Ollie’s proud paladin, but it’s all just part of the game, right?

Ollie’s future depends on keeping her bisexuality private, while Harper’s dreams include an out-and-proud life in their rural town. But as their feelings continue to grow with each gaming session, their relationship begins threatening everything they’ve worked so hard to build.

As the school year comes to a close and the campaign’s final boss looms on the horizon, Harper and Ollie must decide: are their feelings more than just a fantasy? Because if they want a second chance at love, they’ll have to fight for it, both in-game and in real life.

Critics Review

  • “Gallucci’s higher pitched voice and nervousness sound appropriate for a closeted teenager and all her cringe moments…while Naudus’s deeper voice and even tone portray the confident character of Harper…Santana’s masculine voice helps distinguish the fantasy storytelling of their D&D game.”

    AudioFile

  • “This feel-good, queer coming-of-age story will circulate well in libraries with diverse young fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons fans.”

    School Library Journal (starred review)

  • “The white teens offer loving portrayals of young people defying societal norms, and their difficulties manage to be gut-wrenching without crossing the line into a spiral of unhappiness…Offers a thoughtful look at the fear of being different.”

    Kirkus Reviews

    James L. Sutter, co-creator of the Pathfinder and Starfinder roleplaying games
