Elthea's Realm

When does technology become magic?


Five ordinary people begin an unexpected adventure in a land where a computer virus turns real. The companions embark on a journey transforming their lives and the future of countless worlds.


Once closest friends because of a college course called The Utopia Project, they drifted apart after graduation. Years later, mysterious beings pursue them until the entities attack when the former schoolmates reunite. 


They awaken from the struggle in a mystical land filled with remarkable beauty. It’s a world they sought to describe in their college assignment. But a terror also lurks here.


A life form known as Bots, born from Earth’s computer malware and viruses, threatens the five onetime students in this unfamiliar land. The Bot’s hatred stems from what the classmates tried to accomplish in that nearly forgotten course.


The utopia members are not alone in their struggle against their foe. A race called the Astari, benevolent beings with their genesis in Earth’s software, befriends the classmates and attempts to protect them. The friends band together with the Astari as they vow to stop their enemy. Either that or they risk certain death.


Along the way, these companions witness remarkable wonders but also face adversity and overwhelming sadness. Ultimately, they rekindle a friendship and a love that may change them forever. In the process, they alter the course of civilization.
