Vae Victis 3: An Apocalypse LitRPG

Vae Victis, Book 3

By: Ivan Kal

Narrated by: Kyla Garcia

Her vampire powers continuing to grow, Marianna may now be the one thing standing between Earth and its destruction, in this grimdark LitRPG.

Marianna Rojas is no ordinary vampire. She's an Exemplar, one of thirty diplomats hand-chosen by the Grand Spell to bring the many races of the galaxy together in the World of Origin. Once a mystery, the Grand Spell has reshaped reality—and Earth is in peril.

With the strength and skills her Mask gives her, Marianna is now an emerald-eyed Elder Vampire, bursting with power and humming with dangerous thirst. The mighty Tsu-gi known as Shadow has named her "the Star That Dances in Blood Beneath the Light of the Broken Moon," and that's exactly how she feels: deadly and invincible.

Accompanied by her dragon sidekick, Saia, and her ever-growing crew of fighters and adventurers, Marianna throws herself into the trials that will determine who survives in this new reality. With countries rearranging and entire continents dropping into the sea, it's only a matter of time before Earth becomes unrecognizable.

And when an emissary from a mysterious people offers Marianna aid in exchange for standing aside when Earth's protections are lifted and the portals to other worlds are opened, she must choose between her nature and the future of her world.

The third volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than 200,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

I love this series

So far this series is awesome, the only negative I could possibly give is that it's way to short. In the future these books should be around 20+ hours, & I don't mean putting a bunch of boring information in to pad the run time, just keep progressing the story forward. For example, instead of ending this book we're we did keep going until after we destroy the Sun Kingdom fools.

Hidden Gem

Man, I can’t wait for the fourth book to come out. This was great, my favorite book series BY FAR.

very enjoyable

definitely going to keep this good book and the narrator was on spot with the voices of each character

Another good one bit slow outside of challenges

I really liked how the MC got her own religious fools now , ones she can just say its gods will and be her personal zealots to combat the lizard zealots. It is a bit hypocritical she claims to hate the lizard blind backwards faith but has her own religious idoits.

My only dislike is she claims to want freedom and to define who she is but lets the preacher go and shackle her with chains of servitude to the people in the way he chooses and be the one to define her image instead of defining herself.

My hate is how he steal all her hard work and choices by saying god sent her and shes gods tool. Making it seem like she's a puppet and god deserves the credit not her. I guess though if it tricks the gullible religous types it does serve her purpose.

Hope to see more of showing how stupid and easily tricked the religous people are in future books and more conquest.

Even get to see how by making them feel safe and protected that they dont push themselves anymore so are weaker when she isnt around and they get slaughtered. Would be a good lesson.

Marianna Rojas and Saia are awesome together!

The story and plot is truly amazing. This book leaves cliffhangers and keep you wondering when is the next book coming out. If this book could be anime or live action, it would be great! The elements of a higher being and a mixed bag of different species in a mass collective fighting for supremacy on a planet. Simply WOW!!
