No one really dies in the Metaverse or do they?
It is the near future, and the virtual realities of the Metaverse are home to millions of hard-core game addicts called Meta Junkies. Shea Britton is one of them. The top player in a fantasy simulation game called the Land of Might and Magic, Shea' s character, Darshana, is on a quest to rid the Land of an evil player known only as The Gray Warrior. The problem is, The Gray Warrior is hunting too, and he' s not playing a game. He is killing in the real world. Shea is unaware of the danger she is in, and it is up to the FBI' s Behavioral Analysis Unit' s top profiler, Parker Reid, to stop the killer before he reaches her.
