Publisher Description
“A spicy romantic dystopian fantasy mindfuck of an epic read.”
– SR Breaker, USA Today Bestselling author
Power like hers comes with a price.
When Seven Jones is blackmailed back to community college after years of drifting, the last thing she expects to stumble into is an underground world of magic.
Suddenly surrounded by a secret society of spell-slingers, Seven discovers a hidden side of herself – and a power she can barely control. Struggling to rein it in, she uncovers a dangerous shortcut, a cheat no one else dares to use. It works… but at a terrible cost.
When a fellow student turns up dead and monsters begin stalking the campus, suspicion falls squarely on Seven. Is her reckless trick fueling the chaos, or is someone setting her up?
Her only ally is Logan, an infuriatingly hot ex–Navy SEAL with secrets of his own, who makes resisting temptation almost impossible. Together, they’ll face dragons, krakens, and the shadows within themselves. But in the magical underworld, nothing is what it seems – and not everyone makes it out alive.
Perfect for fans of Emily Tesh, Naomi Novik, and Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, Dot Slash Magic is a sizzling, fast-paced urban fantasy full of spice, danger, and twists that will leave you reeling.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With a distinctly sharp and sarcastic style, Shipton (the Thalassic series) draws readers into this mind-bending science fantasy. Seven, a 20-something self-taught coder with commitment issues, finds herself at loose ends after her time sailing the world with a romantic partner ends in an abrupt and painful breakup. Now she's back home in San Diego, living on a houseboat, taking community college classes, and growing closer to her stoner classmate Remy, who goes by Kurt due to his uncanny resemblance to Kurt Cobain. Seven's life drastically changes, however, when she comes upon a mysterious door that leads to a meeting of the campus magic club. Turns out, magic is real, and those who wield it call themselves Makers—among them the handsome Logan. All of this magic talk is new and shocking to Seven but she soon discovers her own powers, leading her to attempt to integrate magic and technology as part of a project for her machine learning class. Things take a perilous turn when people start dying on campus. Along the way, Shipton digs deeply into her heroine's complex psyche and relationship to AI. Witty dialogue, surprising plot spirals, and resonant questions about machine learning make this a treat.
