Synopsis

BOOK 4: THE TRIALS OF DARK ANGEL - She broke the throne. Now she has to learn how to remain. One year and 120 days after Queen 80th did what no Queen before her dared to do, the Bastion is still lying down. It was never rebuilt. The devs left it broken. The biggest piece of the throne - black stone, once holding 79 queens who sat - still lays on its side in the center of the Citadel, rust 60%, covered in 120 white feathers that never despawned. Around it, the 79 Ghost Queens are still lying down.. At peace. At the bottom of the world, on a rug in a small flat in Durban, a woman of 32 is still lying down too. This is not the story of how Dark Angel became a Queen. This is the story of who she is now that she doesn't have to hold everything. Book 4 of the Dark Angel Saga For seven years, her second life was more real than her first.In-game she was Dark Angel, Queen 80th. Heavy rare solid black wings. Black and gold armor that never rusted. White wings with black veins inside that pulsed like a second heart. She held the North Gate for 71 hours straight when no one else could. Players whispered Queen when she flew over. She had purpose. She had people. She had a place where cold feet didn't matter because she had wings. In real life, she was the woman on the rug. Bare feet cold even in summer. Soft t-shirt and jeans, not a black satin robe with gold embroidery. She cancelled plans. Forgot to eat. Made rice that burned. Her only constant was Noddy - a 6kg fluffy tabby with white paws like paint, 8 years old now, who never sat upright a day in his life. Only full side flop, belly out, vulnerable and at peace. Exactly like the cover. Exactly like the Bastion laying down. Book 4 begins on Day 80. The war is over. The 80th pillar - her pillar - has split into two halves that are still touching, still laying down, still a pillar. Her armor is 80% rusted and she clicks N every time the system asks [CLEAN RUST? Y/N]. Her white wings with black inside have split all the way through, but they are still wings, beating slower than ever, 120 feathers shed on the floor of the Citadel, each one a day she remained. The system gives her four trials. Not to fight. To remain. Trial 1: The Chains. The chains that held 79 queens to the throne try to bind her again. They cut through white wings with black inside. She bleeds light. Mira has to heal her, but Mira is in Cape Town, finishing med school, becoming a doctor. She cannot be online every night. Trial 2: The Rust. The system wants her shiny again. Shiny black and gold armor sells skins. Rusted armor 80% tells the truth.She keeps the story. Trial 3: The Call. Jace, 41, tank from Durban North, big voice ex-rugby, who held the gate with her, who carried her on his mount when her wings broke for three days, who taught the Recruits to type /bastion - he is holding North without her. 50 times without her black wings calling hold. He uses her rotation, but it's his now. If they learn without depending on their Queen, who is she? Trial 4: Stillness. The hardest trial. To log in three times a week by choice - morning, afternoon, sunset - not every night 18:00 to 02:00. To sit on the rug in real life and make real coffee with both hands. To walk four blocks to the shop and buy a plant and water it. To have a real friend sit on the rug with her, side flop like Noddy, laughing. To work a small job that pays rent and have her boss say, "You seem here now." To let the Recruits - twelve who swore the 80th oath to lay down not sit - lay down 99 days around the Bastion without her calling them. To let the 79 Ghost Queens remain lying down one year and 120 days later.Who is she now if she is not holding the gate every minute?She is Dark Angel who remains.Who is this book for?This is not a LitRPG about grinding levels. This is a book for anyone who ever lived more in a second life than their first. For anyone who was a Queen online and quiet on a rug offline. This is a Book you will want to read.
