Cyd Sherman is a violinist in an orchestra (she sits right at the back) with a boyfriend in a band who spends more time trying to make his band ‘unique’ than with her. As if her life wasn’t depressing enough, her gay father has guilt-tripped her into therapy and her therapist thinks that she’s anti-social. The day that she buys her first computer game changes her life irreparably.
Online, Cyd is a whole different
person – literally. Under the name of Codex, Cyd can battle dragons, rescue
princesses and win gold to buy herself a snazzy new outfit or weapons. With her
new friends, Zaboo, Vork, Bladezz, Clara and Tink, they form a Guild called the
Knights of Good. As Priestess, Codex can do anything and before long, she
becomes immersed in this fantasy world.
