What’s the point in surviving if you can’t even remember who you are?

Nylah awoke in a virtual world with no idea who she was and even less idea of how she got there. She’s not even called Nylah, but it’s all she’s got to go off.

Thrust into a new body and surrounded by a world she doesn’t know, Nylah’s only reassurance is being told she agreed to be there. But as she travels through a world filled with fantastical creatures, strange quests and a rather unreliable guide, she realises she’ll need a lot more than that.

Desperate to reclaim her past and solve the secrets of this world, Nylah must get stronger. And fast.

After all, if dying isn’t the worst fate that awaits her here, Nylah doesn’t want to find out what is.

About the Author

Lou Poletti

Lou Poletti is a writer, gamer, and lifelong storyteller with a passion for fantasy, RPGs, and immersive world-building. When she’s not crafting epic tales, she’s advocating for mental health awareness or diving into another playthrough of Skyrim—and, for the record, only one of those was as a stealth archer.  


With a background as a stage performer and choreographer across four continents, Lou brings a deep sense of drama, action, and character depth to her writing. Now based in Sydney, Australia, she spends her time writing, gaming, surfing, and keeping her plants alive (mostly).
