About the book
The perilous, isolated continent of Antarctica. Newtopia City, two kilometers beneath the ice. And something, stealthily, growing.
It’s 2063, decades after magic returned to our world. Leeth, raised at the Institute for Paranormal Dysfunction, is now a government assassin. But sent to Antarctica, to the city run by the world’s first truly sentient AI, her new mission may be impossible. In the city it controls, under its all-seeing eyes, she must somehow find and destroy both the AI itself, and the technology it stole.
But how do you kill an AI that has successfully hidden and protected itself for years, while secretly running a global megacorporation?
Why did the AI steal technology for rewriting human memories? Why is it holding four young gifted orphans in a hidden research facility? And why has it begun inexplicably crashing?
But when powerful entities reach out from the shadows, and a primeval land awakens to magic, things are guaranteed to get strange – deadly strange.
