According to orbit (UK), Orbit has signed a licensing agreement with Riot Games, the world's leading video game developer known for launching League of Legends, and the first novel set in the League of Legends game universe, "Destruction", will be published in September 2022 by the Orbit team in the United States and the United Kingdom. At that time, the English paper book, electronic version and audio version will be publicly distributed to the world, and it is expected to be translated into many markets.

Written by Fist Game chief writer Anthony Reynolds, Destruction tells the story of Calista, a general under King Foyego, who travels to search the legendary land of ancient magic in search of a way to save Queen Issoud. Previously, he had written a novella called Garen: First Shield under the Rune Lands setting on the League of Legends interactive map. In contrast, this time the novel "Destruction" appears to be larger.
Fist Games says that the storyline plays an irreplaceable role in helping players explore the game world and heroes in depth, and this collaborative novel publishing can give fans the opportunity to learn more about the rune land and fall deeply in love with the world. In response, Tim Holman, senior vice president and publisher of Orbit (USA), said that the novel this time hopes to evoke the familiar memories in the hearts of millions of League of Legends game fans, and also tries to attract all new readers who yearn for fantasy worlds and are keen on epic adventure books.
