The Family Jewels

A hilarious new LitRPG adventure from bestseller Michael James Ploof with a unique twist on game night.

The family who plays together stays together.

Betrayed by his guild and left for dead, Benjamin Jewel's aspirations to triumph in the Ragnarök Tournament seemed shattered—until Chuck, his mother's enthusiastic boyfriend—secures him a last-minute entry. His luck is turning around.

Ben's relief morphs into horror when he discovers that his "noob" family has also joined for a bit of fun, making his challenging quest downright nightmarish.

Now, not only must he navigate a treacherous world teeming with monsters, vengeful gods, and sinister spirits, but he must also contend with his new guildmates: his own dysfunctional family.

Grampa Dru is in it for the laughs, Gramma Bean is lost in a flashback to Vegas, 1975, and his mom sees it as the perfect bonding opportunity. Meanwhile, his twin sisters, Mindy and Mandy, relish in his misfortunes, and Wiley, his overzealous eight-year-old brother, wreaks havoc, eager to slay everything in sight—monsters, innocent NPC villagers, and, preferably, Ben himself.

They say the family that plays together stays together, but surviving each other might just be the greatest challenge they face.

The Family Jewels is a delightfully chaotic LitRPG filled with stats, action, family infighting, and plenty of laughs. Dive in with Ben's rookie relatives and enjoy a unique twist on a world where family game night gets a whole new meaning. Perfect for fans of Life in Exile, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and This Trilogy is Broken!
