Synthetic Magic

Avery Adder sees an opportunity for glory when the mobile island of Academy turns northwards late in the year. Icy seas and frigid winds dwell beneath the shifting aurora and Avery will be the first person in history to touch the beautiful and volatile sky lights, jarring hidden forces into motion and changing the lives of himself and his peers forever in the process.

Fabled enemies stalk the shadows, gods whisper their influence, and blood is shed beneath the flickering lights as the students of Academy become pieces in a game played by mortals, immortals, and those straddling the line between them...

Synthetic Magic is the first volume of The Bloodless Affairs series, featuring a diverse ensemble of characters in a world that blends old magic and new technology seamlessly.
