Synopsis

What if you wrote a magic computer program? What if that magic computer program started summoning monsters?

When twenty-something coder Seven Jones goes back to school at a community college in San Diego, the last thing she wants is to join some stupid club. And the last thing she expects is to walk into an underground magic club. Like, actual wizards and shit.

Seven reluctantly joins the motley crew of magic weirdos and discovers her own power. But she struggles to control it . . . until she figures out how to channel her magic through an artificially intelligent computer program.

Unfortunately, there is literally nothing Seven's new friends hate more than AI, and when a student mysteriously turns up dead, blame falls on Seven. Is her "creepy artificial magic" summoning terrifying creatures to hunt students? Or is someone trying to frame her?

With only one person—cute ex-Navy seal Logan—on her side, Seven fights monsters (Dragon? Check. Kraken? Check.) while struggling to convince everyone that her AI has nothing to do with them.

But how can she convince her peers when she isn't totally convinced herself?

Contains mature themes.
