"A brilliant work of fantasy that will appeal to everyone's inner gamer. If you've played any sort of RPG, I cannot recommend this book enough."
—Zachariah Dracoulis, author of Fragged, Kylia’s Story, and Code JumperNoah survived his time trapped in the virtual reality of the Dream State game, and his body is on the road to recovery. His mind, however, cannot put the past behind him, knowing the company that ruined his life has escaped justice. With the evidence he needs to convict them held on a Transfer Orb hidden in the Dream State, Noah returns to help his friends reclaim it.
However, someone has already beaten him to the punch. FranktheTank is a newbie. When he happens across the Transfer Orb, he sees it as a big payday—something to boost his skills to the next level. As he tries to sell it off to the highest bidder, he begins to realize that something more than his avatar’s status is at stake.
To push the evidence to the public, Noah and his allies race to find Frank before Wona does. Empowered by new weapons and magic, Noah and his friends fight through dungeons, monsters, and dragon nests. Still, only Noah knows what lengths Wona will resort to to keep its good name clean and its dark past a secret. Can Noah fight the pull of the game to protect Wona’s victims?
