This book treads the border between sci-fi and fantasy. The story begins as Giannine gets a gift certificate to visit the Rasmussem virtual reality center. She chooses to play a fantasy game called Heir Apparent. Outside the facility, fanatics that think children spend too much time hooked up to these machines have sabotaged the mechanism that controls the games. Giannine is approached by the game’s creator and told that due to the sabotage they cannot disconnect her until she wins the game and that if she does not win within a certain amount of time she will die for real. Giannine then needs to get a magic ring, locate treasure and defeat enemies if she wants to survive her birthday gift. The world of the game is beautiful and an enjoyable fantasy series.
