The Virtuality universe is better than ours. It's more advanced, and it's somehow evolved faster - too quickly for the planet to keep up with. Less die from diseases because the cures are found faster, the technology of today is being invented the day before, virtual realities are already here.

But when the Millennium bug strikes, it strikes harder, and does much more damage. Not only is there better technology to hit, but there's things to aid it – viruses, hackers, if chaos can be caused then it's caused as the new year nears close.

The affects on Virtual Reality during this bug were unrecorded, because the people who were hit by it didn't live to tell the tale. Nobody knows that the effects are still there, that people are still disappearing, and the lives saved by technology are now being taken by it...

Maree, Ceirin and Ellen are three players in the virtual reality game, Dragon Tamers. When the game goes off-line, they're summoned into that reality to help, by accident... or, just maybe, destiny. With ending the game the only way to get home, the set out to defeat the final boss, aided by their parters – mythical creatures named Dragons, but in many ways far different.
It seems simple enough, but there's a catch – if they die in the game, they die in the real world too...
