When Cerys' secret crush Jake moves to a new college, she realizes she's running out of time to take their relationship from platonic to romantic. She'll do anything to get out of Jake's friend zone, even if that means finally diving into the huge fantasy fandom he loves so much. Though she absolutely can't see the appeal in Of Wrath and Rune, if Jake loves it, then Cerys will too.

When Jake introduces Cerys to his shiny new friend Max, who goes to all the fandom conventions--in cosplay (cringe)--Cerys realizes she'll need to do a lot more to grab Jake's attention than just read a few fanfics. But Max, with his dimples and dry humor, always seems to be hanging around, getting in the way.

Cerys is determined to become the ultimate fangirl to finally get on Jake's radar. What she doesn't expect is that she might actually like Of Wrath and Rune . . . and might like DMing with a suspiciously familiar guy in the fandom even more.
