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.
