Emma is working a side gig at Comic-Con when a portal swallows the whole crowd, dropping her into the Realm of Crystals — an alien dimension where the laws of physics don't apply and a series of lethal Trials determines who lives. Guided by a mysterious Artificial Intelligence named Suri, Emma must master an entirely alien system of skills and power if she wants to survive and eventually get home.

Emma is a sarcastic, determined engineer whose devil-may-care attitude in life-or-death situations masks genuine intelligence and emotional depth. She is the heart of the Blue Dragons and drives every breakthrough through stubbornness and lateral thinking. The series features one of the stronger female leads in LitRPG.

Across six books, Emma and a growing team of misfits — the Blue Dragons — fight through Trial after Trial while uncovering the horrifying truth about the crystal realm and the alien society of Peilor that created it. The series balances hard LitRPG progression with a central sapphic romance between Emma and Kaitlynn.
