In the near future, the hottest new MMO is Dawn of the Realms. An action RPG with a fantastic new animation engine, it has finally arrived after months and months of hype to critical and commercial success.

And Susanne McDaniels, or Alkataia within the game, has just awoken within the game world.

She soon realizes that every night, when she falls asleep, she awakens within the body of her avatar within the game. For many, this would be a source of wonder and delight. For Susanne, though, it's only a source of fear.

For her eleven year old daughter also seems to have awoken within the game, and no matter where she looks, Alkataia can't seem to find her.

Where is her daughter? What is she doing every night? And why does she hear scattered fragments of dialogue about a Promised Daughter?

The first novel in the series can be found here. This work is a side story of that novel, exploring a different place, with a much different story playing out.
