From the #1 Bestselling Author of The Quintessence: Crucible. Betrayed by those closest to him, Finn Caldwell thought he'd escaped his life of violence and deception. But when a frantic message from his estranged sister draws him into The Realms, the world's most advanced holographic reality game, Finn is forced to embrace his deadly skills once more. Armed with a mysterious artifact known as a Godhead, Finn becomes the warrior-mage Gryph.

Banished to a horrific sentient dungeon, Finn must learn the rules of this strange new world and defeat an ancient revenant who survives by consuming souls. Only then will he have any hope of saving his sister, and the new world they both call home.
