dungeons and dragons (game)

"Middle school is a dungeon--at least, that's how Jess sees it. Luckily, she and her best friend Olivia know how to escape into the sprawling worlds of their own imaginations. The two friends have always loved making up stories, first with little kid games of make-believe, and more recently with the fantasy roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons. When they play, Olivia runs the game as Dungeon Master and Jess is the solo party member, playing a take-no-prisoners, lone-wolf fighter of her own design named Sir Corius. But when Olivia wants to add new players to their group, Jess finds herself struggling to share their game--and her best friend. Will their epic campaign withstand all this change, or has their adventure--and their friendship--finally come to an end?"--Provided by publisher.

Something big has come knocking on the gates of Dungeon Academy! The undefeated Waterdeep Dragons have arrived for the Tourney of Terror games, which occur every half century. The Academy Flumphs are outnumbered, outsized, and outmonstered! But our hero, Zelli Stormclash, a forbidden human, secretly disguised as a minotaur, is no stranger to impossible odds, and neither are her friends, the Danger Club, who recently battled a necromancer and his army of undead! If the Waterdeep Dragons weren't enough to raise scales, Zelli's reoccurring nightmare of a dark entity annihilating her world may be more than just a bad dream. Something sinister lurks in the halls of the school, and only Zelli seems to notice. But when Zelli uncovers a dark past hidden beneath Dungeon Academy, she unlocks something that will concern everyone at school, every dragon at Waterdeep, and everything within the Forgotten Realms.
