Part of Erebos
First published 2025
Nick Dunmore thought he was done with Erebos. Twice he broke free from the game's grip, and twice he survived. Then the program reappears on his computer and pulls him back in. He becomes Sarius the dark elf again, moving through a world that feels more dangerous than he remembers. The game sends Nick and his friends on a search, but gives them no clear target. They don't know what they're looking for. They only know the stakes are real. Someone's life is on the line. Erebos won't say whose. Nick pushes forward through puzzles and missions, following threads the game lays out, trying to find the shape of something the game refuses to name. His friends are with him, but the game has always been good at using people against each other. The rule has always been simple: one chance, one shot, no second attempt. Nick has already used his. When he finally understands what the search is actually for, the window to act is nearly closed. Erebos 3 is the third book in Ursula Poznanski's series, published in 2025.
