"Dungeon Crawler Carl is legit awesome" #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson *** New Achievement! Total, Utter Failure. Surviving in a multilevel dungeon that also happens to be the set of the galaxy's most watched game show has taught Carl and his ex-girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut, that there's only one thing they can count on apart from each other: they never know what's coming next.

A haunted crypt surrounded by lethal traps. It was supposed to be straightforward. One bubble. Four castles. Fifteen days. Capture each one, and the stairwell is unlocked. Going it alone is not an option this time, so Carl and his team must rely on the help of the low-level, I-can't-believe-these-idiots-are-still-alive crawlers trapped in the bubble with them.
