Sigil Online

Loss was nothing new to an orphan like Riley. But when the online persona he had spent years building was ripped away by a monster with unbelievable power, everything changed. As a gamer who made a living from Sigil Online, losing his character meant losing his job and any means of paying his bills — forcing him to start from the very beginning. All the fame and fortune of a high-level character was gone. Follow Riley's harrowing quest as he is molded by the pursuit of the monster that took everything from him.

For Riley and his friends, Sigil Online has never been more real. With the latest expansion, pain has been enabled and will now affect all players in-game. Aptly named Hellions, the expansion introduces monsters — not the kind that paragons have been fighting for years, but players themselves who can now become the monsters they once sought to destroy. In a game where playing means having the money to survive in the real world, what will Riley do when death in the game doesn't just mean an end to his character, but an end to his life?

A terrible entity has consumed the game known as Mage World Online. Now that all virtual online worlds are connected, this monstrous hive-mind turns its sights to other games. It will take every power and friend that Riley can recruit to defeat this new, insurmountable menace — because if he can't stop it in Sigil Online, it will consume everything in its path.
