Disowned by his parents for being gay, he takes solace in his video games. Out of all his favorites, his newest one -- DungeonCrawl -- is swiftly rising to take the number one spot for him. When a lightning strike hits his house, knocking out the power, Elijah is anything but happy. Lack of electricity is the last thing Elijah is worried about the second he steps foot out his front door. What happens when a gamer finds himself stuck in the world of his fantasies? And how the hell does he survive without the aid of a mouse and keyboard? less

Gamer Elijah Burrows has rather seamlessly taken over the life of his game character, Elian Surgis, in the world of Timiria. Alongside his lover, the lupine mage Sarin Eckhert, Elijah leads survivors of Sarin's mystical order through the wilds of the province of Tasmorum. They manage to stay just one step ahead of Timiria's monarch, King Mirov, who seeks to destroy every magic-wielding soul connected to the Labyrinthine Order... moreGamer Elijah Burrows has rather seamlessly taken over the life of his game character, Elian Surgis, in the world of Timiria. Alongside his lover, the lupine mage Sarin Eckhert, Elijah leads survivors of Sarin's mystical order through the wilds of the province of Tasmorum. They manage to stay just one step ahead of Timiria's monarch, King Mirov, who seeks to destroy every magic-wielding soul connected to the Labyrinthine Order. From encounters with a mysterious group of traders on the road, to a revelation of epic proportions, it's a miracle Elijah has any time to explore his relationship with Sarin. Then Fate throws a wrench into the mix: the appearance of another "traveler" -- another gamer stuck in the game world Elijah now calls home. But this particular gamer has ulterior motives that have nothing to do with the Order's survival. less

Elijah Burrows and his lover, Sarin, are off to do the unthinkable: offer their services to their enemy. King Mirov’s assassin failed, and Elijah and Sarin hope to spy on the monarch by posing as for-hire mercenaries. With a new, magic-induced appearance and Sarin acting as a wolf companion, Elijah journeys to Mirov’s palace in the neighboring province and convinces Mirov he’s available and ready to do anything to aid the throne. What could possibly go wrong?

Elijah has never been the type to fight. Now he has no choice. Mirov's forces march toward them, hellbent on destroying the mages and their supporters. Elijah must stand by his lover Sarin, and with their friends, they must win the battle or face utter destruction. War is an ugly thing, though, and no one comes out unscathed. For one of them, it is utterly devastating. But hope looms on the horizon, if they can only make it through the night.
