Trapped in Battle Royale. [Book three], Betrayal at Salty Springs : an unofficial Fortnite novel

Grey has improved a ton with the help of his friends, and he's closing in on the top tier of players. But then his closest friend announces that he's been asked to join a new squad on the top tier and leaves them in hopes of making the top five with his new squad. Grey is devastated, and their play struggles. He falls back several ranks and begins to wonder if it's even possible to escape the game this season. Some players have been there for many seasons ... some aren't even trying to leave because they like it so much. Maybe he should just accept it as his life. A former rival tells him to snap out of it--he's too good to slide back so far. They end up in a squad and do well enough to scale the ranks again. Grey has a chance to screw over his old Ally/Friend by taking his place on the Top Tier team, but will he? Grey is back in Battle Royale -- but will he make it out this time? With Grey as its leader, his squad soars up in the ranks of Fortnite: Battle Royale. With only a few weeks left in the season, the squad members are closing in on those top five spots that will free them from virtual reality. Grey believes that a little more practice will get them there, but not everyone in his squad is so sure. When a top ten squad comes recruiting for veteran players, two of Grey's teammates leave him and Kiri in the dust -- and maybe stuck in Battle Royale forever. Blindsided and devastated, Grey sees his rankings fall, and with them his chances of escape. He's certain he'll be stuck for another season -- until two unlikely players come to the rescue. With their help, can Grey bounce back from betrayal and fight for his top five spot?
