Battlefields of strategy, alliances, and betrayal ignite in a galaxy-spanning war!

In ‘This Inevitable Ruin,’ the seventh book of the popular ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’ series by Matt Dinniman, the stakes have never been higher. This installment introduces readers to the wild Faction Wars, set against the backdrop of the ninth floor filled with powerful and wealthy alien factions vying for control. With cunning strategy and unexpected alliances taking center stage, each of the nine armies aims to seize the castle at the heart of this chaotic battlefield.

As the storyline unfolds, we discover a dramatic twist: this war is not just a game. Unlike previous seasons where participants could respawn, this time there are real consequences. Those who fall will remain down as the AI that orchestrates their world spirals into decline. Carl and his crew decide it’s time to reverse the roles and take a stand, emerging as a formidable team among the nine armies. Furthermore, the NPCs—long relegated to cannon fodder—gain self-awareness and form their own faction, adding a thrilling layer to the conflict.

Key players, Donut and Katia, face an even more personal challenge: only one will emerge from this level alive. The tension rises as they navigate the treacherous terrain of power struggles and rivalries, seeking aid from seasoned fighters. In a setting filled with shocking betrayals and tactical maneuvering, Dinniman crafts a spellbinding narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
