[Guild of Tokens 01] • Initiate

**The Quests are real, the rewards are real, and the dangers are unimaginable.**

When Jen Jacobs stumbles upon the Quest Board during a late-night programming binge, everything changes.

The rules of the Board are simple:

Complete a Quest, get a token.

The harder the Quest, the more tokens you earn.

Get enough tokens, and you level up.

Except the Quest Board isn't in a video game. It's real.

Jen's first Quest is simple enough, but when she receives her first wooden token, the sense of achievement is unexpectedly addictive and she vows to grind her way to the top of this real-world game, no matter what the cost.

As Jen crisscrosses New York City fetching more random items, slaying dragons (well, sewer rats), and meeting a host of Questers, she soon discovers a hidden underworld dating back to the city's very inception.

And when a simple task delivers Jen into the arms of a ruthless Quester with a terrifying agenda, the game becomes one not only of levels, but of life-and-death.
