The Lich Priest is the fifth book in the series The Viridian Gate Archives written by James Hunter. Set in January 2043, the story continues to follow the adventures of Jackson Hunt and his friends as they navigate the virtual reality world of Viridian Gate Online (VGO). In this installment, a new threat emerges in the form of the Vogthar Horde, who bring with them the power of Malware Blades that can cause real death even to players.

The book begins with Jackson and his companions facing the aftermath of a devastating attack on their guild hall. The Vogthar Horde, a formidable enemy force, has invaded VGO and is wreaking havoc across the game world. These invaders possess powerful weapons known as Malware Blades, which have the ability to inflict actual harm on players, leading to permanent death within the game.

As Jackson and his friends regroup and strategize, they realize that defeating the Vogthar Horde will require more than just individual skill. They must rally other players and guilds to join forces against this common enemy. The stakes are high as failure would not only result in their own deaths but also potentially lead to the destruction of VGO itself.

Throughout their journey, Jackson and his allies encounter various challenges and obstacles. They face intense battles against hordes of Vogthar warriors, engage in intricate quests, and uncover dark secrets about the origins of VGO. Along the way, they forge new alliances, strengthen existing friendships, and discover hidden powers within themselves.

As the story progresses, Jackson finds himself drawn deeper into the mysteries surrounding VGO. He learns about an ancient prophecy that foretells the rise of a powerful Lich Priest who could either save or destroy the game world. This prophecy becomes a central focus for Jackson and his companions as they strive to understand their roles in fulfilling it.

The narrative explores themes of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and the blurred lines between reality and virtual reality. It delves into the consequences of living in a world where actions have real-life repercussions and the distinction between the digital and physical realms becomes increasingly blurred.

January 2043. The Vogthar Horde has arrived, and they bring true death with them. Even players are not safe from the power of Malware Blades….

Worse still, the Realm of Order, dominated by the Overmind Sophia, is in danger – slowly corrupted by an ancient evil, the Lich Priest. And if he succeeds, it could mean the end of Sophia and the demise of the Crimson Alliance.

Grim Jack never thought he would side with the Empire, but now that this terrible new threat has arrived, making friends with old enemies may be the only way to survive.

This is the best book of the series so far, I love the story! James Hunter thanks for creating such a marvelous world and Armen Taylor thank you for bringing it to life in such an amazing way.

Love this book and the whole series. It would be great regardless who was reading it, but Mr. Taylor makes it amazing and brings it to life. Also kudos to the author for a great overall book that keeps to the main story with a great adventure. Very impressed with the ending especially, rarely I feel satisfied at the end, this time though the author nailed it.
