"Would you trade your entire existence to play God in an artificial world? For almost my entire life, I thought that, given the opportunity, I wouldn't hesitate. But now...hell, what I wouldn't give to be home."
Zaria, an aspiring art student, discovers a mysterious painting in her school's art gallery. She gets sucked into the painting – which isn't all that bad, except her physical body is still in the real world, and whatever was previously in the painting is now in control of it. Zaria has a difficult decision: to either find some way to return home...or embrace this chance to start over, to succumb to the alluring charm of Elodia and see what she could make of it.
