Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. What’s a boy to do in a world full of magic and so many, many hungry creatures searching for their next meal? Well, there’s an old man inside that body, and he'll use everything he’s learned to survive.

Hong Fei was a soldier until betrayal shattered his body and destroyed his future. Now broken and discarded, he wants nothing more than a quiet life, useful work, and no more causes worth dying for. But when he finds a card deck on a stranger's corpse, his life becomes entangled with forces beyond his understanding. The deck's rules are described in an unknown language; its powers are dangerous. His only guide is an unlikely summoned ally: a giant badger named Ling, who can read the cards but communicates only through drawings and stubborn gestures.

Eight 3: Undaunted is a novel of pursuit and peril, of urban struggles, and of a relentless dance with life, death, and magic. It's an adventure that tests the very essence of Eight's being. Join him as he faces his most daunting challenge yet, but remember, in the game of survival, even the wise can fall, and the Long Dark waits for no one.

He’s carved a home out in the wilderness, and met its inhabitants, killing some and making friends with others.

That’s all incredibly tempting when living among the wild things. Where there are people though, there are complications, including the murder-y kind.

For them, the race is a distraction—a cover for their true goal of uncovering the secrets of the fabled Arc of Knowledge within the ruins.
