The Adventure Zone: The Crystal Kingdom catapults the #1 New York Times bestselling series to dazzling, spine-tingling heights! Packed with ghosts, chaos, and tabletop shenanigans, this D&D-inspired adventure is a must-read for fans of Critical Role and Dimension 20.

Holiday celebrations at the Bureau of Balance are cut short by a desperate call for help. Taako, Magnus, and Merle are tasked with reclaiming a fourth deadly relic: a transmutation stone that has fallen into the wrong hands. Now, a rogue force is transforming a floating arcane laboratory into a spreading, virulent pink crystal--threatening to engulf everything in its path.

Time is running out. To save the world, our heroes must battle rowdy robots and crystal golems, unravel the mysteries of the elusive Lucas Miller, and stop a catastrophe before the planet literally turns to glitter. Adventure, magic, and chaos collide in this hilarious, heart-pounding quest that readers won't be able to put down.
