Here are the fourth installments for both ongoing LitRPG series by genre author, Adam Drake. Shadow Blade (Shadow For Hire Book 4) A hallowed weapon hidden in a jungle hell. Forced to prove my worthiness to an elite group of players, I must earn the right to enter one of the most notorious locations in the game. The Emerald Caldera has a fearsome reputation for chewing up would-be adventurers and quickly sending them back to the newbie zone. Filled with dungeon temples, monstrous beasts and dark-magic cults, the jungles of this mysterious island are deserving of respect. And I must plunge headlong into them because it's here where I can find the next elusive item in my Legendary Armor Set: The Shadow Blade Kingdom Level Four (Kingdom Series Book 4) Kingdom Building 101 Rob's grasp on his fledgling kingdom is tenuous, at best. Expansion is impossible thanks to an angry war-clan of goblins encroaching on the eastern border. Also, monsters and bandits run rampant within the valley threatening his subjects. And since trade is nonexistent and supply lines are dead, the ramshackle village must be kick-started into an economically viable town - one that generates income for the meager royal treasury, instead of sapping it. Solving these problems is his responsibility or the kingdom will never reach level five. But there's a larger concern which casts a dark cloud over everything. His is not the only kingdom and neighboring rulers have started to view this janitor-turned-king as either an exploitable ally... ... or easy prey.
