What if you were struggling to wield your own magic? If a computer could help you…would you use it?
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 π§ Like, actual wizards and sh*t.
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 assistant π€
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? π² Or is someone trying to frame her?
With only one person—cute ex-Navy seal Luke—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?
✨✨✨
This book explores the ethics and morality surrounding AI, particularly its impact on artists and marginalized communities. It’s action-packed, full of heart, it’s got tons of smart, hilarious banter, and a bit of spice π₯
