Gracie is determined to protect her Metamorphosis Online team from those seeking to exploit their rise in the ranks. With the team forming a guild, internal squabbles threaten to tear them apart before they even choose a tabard.
As the game changes lives for better and worse, Gracie finds solace in her digital family, viewing the real world as secondary. But real-life dilemmas intrude: can she balance her game world responsibilities with a stagnant personal life, and will she accept her mother's invitation to her sister's engagement?
The fate of Metamorphosis Online may hang in the balance as its creators' infighting intensifies. For Gracie, gaming is more real than reality, and she'll defend her digital family at all costs.
